Why Disposition Deserves as Much Attention as Acquisition ft. Tim Street

Hey, it’s Jordan Samuel Fleming — welcome back to That Real Estate Tech Guy! This episode is a big one for anyone who flips houses or plans to exit properties in the next 6–12 months. I’m joined by Tim Street, also known as the “FSBO Guy,” and this conversation is all about disposition — the most overlooked (and often most expensive) part of real estate investing.

Tim makes a compelling case for why investors are often far more qualified than they realize to handle the selling side of their own deals. We break down the myths around needing an agent, the real reasons investors lose tens of thousands of dollars on exits, and how tighter markets demand tighter execution. From pricing strategy and inspections to psychology, urgency, and transparency, this episode is packed with practical tactics that can dramatically increase your net profit.

5 Key Takeaways

1. Disposition is where profit is made or lost. You can’t afford to treat it as an afterthought.
2. Investors are more capable than they think. Selling isn’t magic — it’s process and preparation.
3. Transparency removes buyer leverage. Pre-list inspections and open-book pricing change the game.
4. Tight markets punish sloppy exits. Every mistake now shows up in your net profit.
5. Saving money on the sale compounds forward. Small wins on exits fuel bigger future deals.
