Cashflow Carolinas

We’re excited to welcome Ernest “Ernie” Smith as our special guest for February’s Cashflow Collective meeting!
Ernie is a local real estate entrepreneur, licensed General Contractor, and investor who has been in the game for over two decades. He built his career through hands-on experience—house hacking long before it was mainstream, moving 12 times in six years, and learning real estate from the inside out. Today, his business focuses on high-margin flips and long-term buy-and-hold rentals, all guided by data, integrity, and a long-term vision.
We feel incredibly fortunate to have Ernie join us. He’s a true wealth of knowledge, brings real-world experience to the table, and—just as important—is a genuinely great person to learn from.
During this month’s meeting, Ernie will break down:
What renovations actually add value—and what to skip
How to accurately estimate rehab costs
And of course, everyone’s favorite topic
