Zachary Kepes is a 9-figure real estate investor, educator, and the largest private single-family home investor in Arizona, with a portfolio of over 300 properties. With 4,000+ deals under his belt and 20 years of hands-on experience, Zach has built his empire from scratch—self-managing hundreds of rentals and flipping thousands of homes. He’s also the star of HGTV’s Trash to Treasure and the founder of Fliplift, a coaching community where he teaches everyday investors how to scale smarter, avoid costly mistakes, and turn real estate into real freedom.
"When I first got into real estate over 20 years ago, there were no YouTube courses. No guides. I had no teachers, no mentors… and no money. Fast forward to today, and my unique strategy has landed me over 4,000 deals and earned me millions of dollars in profits. My strategy is unconventional. It’s about self-reliance, and it doesn’t conform to these copy-paste methods that you’ll hear on YouTube or in the classroom. That’s why it works. The real estate space has become an echo chamber, and too many people think that there are hard and fast rules that must be followed to find success. They’re wrong… and there is a better way."
