Paul Mayers: ~$35k
net on a deal he couldn't have done otherwise · Myers House Buyers · Augusta, GA
Paul Mayers, in his own words.
Outcome
~$35k
net on a deal he couldn't have done otherwise
Timeline
One weekend on market to multiple offers; full close shortly after.
Before
Active fix-and-flip operator in Augusta, GA running Myers House Buyers — losing deals when sellers wouldn't accept investor-cash offers.
The challenge
An $80k cash offer vs. a $100k seller floor. As a flipper, Paul couldn't make the spread work — and walking away meant the seller stayed stuck.
What we did
- 01Re-positioned the deal under the Retail Buyer Profits framework instead of killing it.
- 02Listed on the MLS at $150k (≈85% of estimated $170k retail) to attract owner-occupants.
- 03Used the framework to handle FHA buyer concessions, HVAC, and punch-list repairs without blowing the margin.
- 04Closed the gap between what the seller needed and what an investor could pay — turning a dead deal into a paid one.
The outcome
Six offers in the first weekend on the MLS. Closed with an FHA buyer and netted ~$35,000 on a deal that otherwise would have died.
"I first heard about the Retail Buyer Program when I met Cory Boatright at the Deal Machine mastermind in October 2022 — really thankful for his friendship. I had a recent property where we could only pay $80,000 as a fix-and-flip, but the seller drew a hard line at $100,000. That's where the Retail Buyer Program came in. We agreed with the seller to list it on the MLS at $150k, figuring retail was around $170k, so we were at about 85 cents on that number. Six offers came in the first weekend. We covered the seller's commissions, $5–6k in closing costs for the FHA buyer, a new HVAC unit, and a punch list of repairs — and we still netted around $35k. We'd never have been able to help this seller without this tool in our toolbox. The ROI versus the opportunity makes it a no-brainer. I'd highly recommend the Retail Buyer Program with Cory Boatright."
