Decades of Success Flipping America with Roger Blankenship

The Source of Commercial Real Estate

Roger Blankenship is host of the real estate podcast, “Flipping America,” and is often called the “Flipping America Guy.” The Flipping America show has been ranked in the top ten business podcasts in multiple surveys and REIkit has judged it the top real estate investing podcast in each of the past two years.

Roger is an international bestselling author, educator, motivational and inspirational speaker, and business leader. He has personally fixed and flipped more than 2000 houses and has been a part of hundreds more real estate transactions. In 2020 he founded the Flipping America REIA which grew to more than 40 local chapters across the country with over 20,000 members. In 2024, he combined the REIA with a trading and technology platform rebranded as the Flipping America Network. Members easily access online training and coaching and have access to an investment property trading platform. Learn more at flippingamerica.net.
Roger has undergraduate degrees in Theology and Speech and graduate degrees in Education and Psychology. (He also minored in music!) It’s almost like he couldn’t decide what he wanted to be when he grew up. He will tell you this is true. He will also tell you that although he uses some of the things he learned in college, the true value of that education was in learning how to think. That skill is the key to learning business and real estate.
