#87. Sharad Mehta—$200K a Year, 20 Minutes a Week: The System Behind It

In this episode of the Income Flip Podcast, Rob Chevez sits down with Sharad Mehta, a real estate investor and founder of REsimpli, to discuss how he transformed his business from hands-on operations to a highly efficient, virtual model. After completing hundreds of deals and stepping away from being physically present in his market, Sharad identified major inefficiencies and shifted his focus to building systems, processes, and data-driven decision-making. Now running his business with a small, distributed team, he emphasizes that real estate is fundamentally a marketing business where success depends on tracking ROI, optimizing channels, and leveraging automation. The result is a scalable, hands-off operation that generates strong profits while requiring minimal time and direct involvement.
