Why I Left Multifamily for Flips with Wendell Butler

In this episode of The Property Profits Podcast, host Dave Dubeau sits down with Wendell Butler, a real estate investor who made a bold move—shifting from multifamily properties in New England to flipping homes and doing new construction in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Wendell shares why he pivoted from long-term holds to fix-and-flips and development, and how the hot Charlotte market is shaping his strategy. Discover how Wendell leverages creative marketing, including direct mail campaigns, to generate consistent leads—and why building strong relationships with general contractors and wholesalers is key to his systemized approach.

He also talks about his background in the military, his early days in Worcester’s multifamily scene, and how house hacking and the BRRRR strategy helped him get started. Wendell now focuses on building scalable systems and shares some game-changing tips for other investors looking to build a fix-and-flip business.

Key Takeaways:

• Why multifamily didn’t make sense in Charlotte—and flipping did

• The direct mail strategy that gets real results

• How Wendell systemizes his business for scale
