Real Estate Investing Mindset: From a $1,800 Wholesale Deal to $50K | Duron Dimmock

Duron Dimmock (00:00)

Absolutely. No, you should everybody, even people who are not who are not necessarily 100% believers or whatever it may be, there is some God. You gotta serve some God, a God, the God, one God, another guy. There is a higher source. Yeah. There’s a higher power. And if you don’t have that higher power, believe in that higher power, who do you go to when you’re in that corner by yourself?

Because I’m gonna tell you now, success is lonely. Success is in corners, success keeps you awake, success has you with bags under your eyes, success is a lot.

Quentin Edmonds (02:08)

Hello everyone. Welcome to the Real Estate Pros Podcast. I am your host Q Edmonds and I’m excited to be here today. I’m excited about my guest. Man, this is going to be a good one. He has a lot that I’m sure he’s going to share and y’all know what excites me is the way we get a chance to glean from other people’s experience.

And that’s the main thing we can be doing all the same things, but we’re going to do it different because we are different. And so this life, this gentleman has lived a life in the real estate space. And so, I’m excited just to peek through his lens. Listen, he loves helping people invest in real estate. And I think that’s the primary thing is that he really want to help people. And so I like to introduce to some, present to some, introduce to others, Mr. Duron Dimmock. Mr. Dimmock how you doing today?

Duron Dimmock (02:48)

How you doing? How’s everybody doing, man? Let me tell y’all something. If y’all listening to this, I’m about to bless you. Play it back. It’s gonna bless you if you let it.

Quentin Edmonds (02:56)

So y’all see, if y’all follow me, these dudes already talking my type of talk.

Duron Dimmock (03:00)

It’ll bless you if you let it just listen and keep going. Yeah, I’m gonna be transparent. So, how are we doing today?

Quentin Edmonds (03:06)

Man, I’m doing great, man. Again, excited to be doing this with you. Let me say, and I’ll say this at the end as well, thank you, man. Thank you for your time. I value people’s time. I think time is our most precious commodity. So sir, thank you for your time. Thank you for making space for us. I appreciate that. And listen, man, I am the type, sir, I like to dive right in. So I would love for you to tell the people, what’s your main focus these days?

If you don’t mind, give us a little origin story, kind of how you got into the space that you’re in. And we see it on your chest, representing Atlanta, so we already know where you come from.

Duron Dimmock (03:35)

Three.

Quentin Edmonds (03:36)

Yes, sir. So you got the floor, my friend.

Duron Dimmock (03:39)

So Duron Dimmock, 1980, October, Libra baby, but I love God. That’s my guy. We work together. That’s my business partner, him and my AI, Meta, Siri. Them all my business partners. Yeah. Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Grady baby, Zone 3, and ended up graduating from Redan High School along alongside LaLa, Swizz Beatz, and a couple other people that went out there.

Quentin Edmonds (04:02)

Yeah.

Duron Dimmock (04:03)

Got into real estate probably around the age of twenty, twenty-one years old, where I saw my brother-in-law actually buying spec homes and flipping houses. I jumped in, working the streets for free. I worked for him for free for six months to learn real estate, catching the bus. I had no car. I used to catch the bus from Delk Road to Cleveland Avenue, which is about a two and a half hour bus ride to get there. And I would work there for free.

Just to learn real estate because at that time there was no $199 courses, there was no no Black mentors, or that there was none of the stuff you see right now on social media where you can get a mentor, you can start wholesaling, you can start all these things. Yeah, that wasn’t. And jumped into it, did my first deal, I made about eighteen hundred dollars wholesaling. My second deal was ten thousand, my third deal was fifty grand, and I haven’t looked back since.

And that was all in one year. March 1800, May 10,000, and then August, I made $50,000. And the crazy part is when I made $50,000, they couldn’t even wire me the money because my bank account was closed. Man.

Quentin Edmonds (05:02)

Wow.

Duron Dimmock (05:03)

I got a story. I walked in, I took that $50,000 check and I walked into Bank of North Georgia on a Saturday morning and tried to cash it. And flip-flops. And I had no money. Had no money. But let me tell you something.

I did whatever what any person would do with a fifty thousand dollar check. Cash this and I don’t care how much you give me back on it. I don’t care, but I ain’t even got gas to get out of here to Georgia 400.

Quentin Edmonds (05:24)

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Duron Dimmock (05:26)

I think that so into real estate, helping people, want to help people invest in real estate. In real estate, with me only going to high school, never did college, real estate has allowed me to be in the rooms with some amazing people, whether it be athletes, politicians, movie stars, all kinds of people. And it has allowed me to universally speak a language that everybody wants to speak, which is what? Money, money, money. Doing that.

I’ve been able to help thousands of people. Atlanta gave me an award, 40 Under 40, when I was under 40 for being one of the most influential people and doing the most for the city when it came to real estate and spiking the economy down in the city of Atlanta, which I love because I’m from the city. Yeah. But my main thing has been helping people invest. First-time homeowners. My wife is a broker. I’m an investor. So she has a real she has her own brokerage. And

Just helping people buy their first home, helping people buy their first investment property. Yeah. Flips, whatever it may be. So that’s kind of the origin. Like I said, Grady baby all the way to where I am now. Yeah.

Quentin Edmonds (06:22)

Yeah.

Duron Dimmock (06:23)

That’s it.

Quentin Edmonds (07:11)

Woo, man. Thank you, sir. Thank you for walking me through a little bit of the origin story, walk me through what it is that you do. And I’m going to love asking you this question, man. So

Duron Dimmock (07:21)

Make it good now.

Quentin Edmonds (07:22)

I think it’s going to be good. Can

Duron Dimmock (07:24)

Like a Juju, no.

Quentin Edmonds (07:26)

Let me know. So everyone that comes on the show, I say this. Destiny has no wasted moments.

It absolutely has no wasted moments. We are learning from every leg of our journey, from the failures, from the success, all the hard lessons. Like we’re learning from it all. So Duron, I would love to know, sir, what has the journey revealed to you about you? Has it revealed discipline, tenacity? Like what has the journey revealed to you about yourself?

Duron Dimmock (07:52)

Going through this journey helping hundreds of people, maybe even thousands of people, with training, and having about three to five people be upset with the results that they thought they did not get. That was the most eye-opening thing because I came up with a product that allowed everyday people who came from where I came from.

To be able to get into real estate, learn real estate, be a part of real estate. And those were the very people who kind of try to tear me down on the backside. And that I learned that you must pay attention to who you’re investing with, who you’re talking to, who you’re doing business with, because at the end of the day, it’s gonna be your fault that it doesn’t work out. It’s not even gonna be their fault. A lot of people will blame people for the things they didn’t know. No, no, no, no, no.

I am the subject matter expert. I shouldn’t have gone in business with those people. How do you give somebody, go into business with somebody who makes $80,000 a year, but you’re trying to help them make $100,000 on one property?

Quentin Edmonds (08:50)

Yeah.

Duron Dimmock (08:51)

They’re having problems managing, or not necessarily problems, their ability is to manage their $80,000 a year paycheck.

Quentin Edmonds (08:57)

Yeah.

Duron Dimmock (08:57)

How are they gonna manage an eighty thousand dollar budget on a house?

Or $80,000 payout on a flip?

Quentin Edmonds (09:03)

Yeah.

Duron Dimmock (09:04)

So you gotta get people that are like-minded. You gotta get you, you have to take in consideration and explain things a little bit more because everybody’s bandwidth, everybody’s tolerance level is not the same. It’s just not the same. And that’s where we as subject matter experts have gone wrong on social media, selling courses.

We have went wrong with social media because we’re inviting almost the welfare side of the business to invest in the rich side of the business, and that’s a huge problem. There is, you can’t do that. You can’t tell somebody for $199 they’re gonna make $200,000. You’re gonna invite a lot of backlash. A lot of backlash, and it’s gonna be your fault. It’s

Quentin Edmonds (09:42)

Yeah.

Duron Dimmock (09:42)

your fault. Not the person the $199, not the person that paid you $10,000.

I had people pay me $15,000 to $25,000 and disappear. Disappear. But I’ve also had people pay me $499 and reverse the purpose, once they learn the course, reverse the purchase on their card.

Quentin Edmonds (09:59)

Yeah. Mm. Mm.

Duron Dimmock (10:00)

Whole world.

Quentin Edmonds (10:01)

I don’t know if this is a good analogy or not, but as you was talking, I started thinking about cars, right? Now, my dream car is the Mercedes-AMG G 63, right?

Duron Dimmock (10:12)

Speak.

Quentin Edmonds (10:13)

So, right, right? So I started, now, the cars I have driven are Camrys and Outlanders, what I’m saying, right? That’s the dream car. But

I’ve learned enough about listening to people to know that you can’t always put premium cars, you got to put premium gas in.

Premium cars, when you do, when it’s time for the maintenance bill, you got to pay premium price. So I started realizing it’s not just enough for me to be able to afford to get in the car. Can I afford to keep the car going at a premium, to be performing the way it’s supposed to perform? And so when I hear you talk, it’s like sometimes we get people, we get them just enough to get the car.

But the car is not going to have the longevity. You’re not going to have success. You’re not going to have performance of the car you don’t have really the capacity to keep the car up. And so I don’t know if that’s a good analogy or not, but as I hear you talk, I think it’s a disservice just to pump people up about getting something and not showing them how to sustain it and not put them in a position to have the resources, the capacity to sustain the vision that they actually want.

Does that make sense?

Duron Dimmock (12:04)

Makes total sense. It makes total sense. I have had a Ghost Rolls-Royce. I’ve had a Range Rover, I’ve had a 7, I’ve had a Bentley, I’ve had these cars. And the reason not one of those were my favorite cars. Not one. My favorite top three cars. Mm-hmm. My Yukon.

My Nissan Versa now. Mm-hmm. I got a 2012 Nissan Versa I absolutely adore and am in love with. Hatchback.

Quentin Edmonds (12:34)

Mm-hmm.

Duron Dimmock (12:36)

And I think my I think I had a Volvo. Mm-hmm. I had a Volvo. Mm-hmm. Those are probably my top three. And put my Honda Accord in there somewhere. I had a Honda Accord and an Acura TL. Yeah. Acura TL. Those are probably my top five. So I’ve had these high-end, nice luxury cars. Took my wife out dinner with them, did all that, and realized who I am. That’s what those cars showed me, who I really am. Because what I thought I was, I’m not.

And who I’ll never I who I’ll never be, I’ll never be.

Yeah. So who I always tell up at who I’m not, I’d never be. But I found out who I’m not by being who I think I was. Mm-hmm. Y’all y’all run that back and play that again, you’ll figure that. That’s good. That’s word math. That’s what I call that word math. But none

Quentin Edmonds (13:17)

Yeah.

Duron Dimmock (13:18)

of none of those cars brought me happiness. And to your point, it was because I had to put premium in. It’s because I had to there’s things in my life that I want to put premium in, my grandkids.

My my children, I want to put premium in in them. I want to feed my wife premium. I don’t want to put premium in something like that. So, to your point, which I think we just created from your words, we want to create a premium lifestyle. That’s what we want to create. We want to create a premium lifestyle. And by doing that, you cannot have an unleaded mindset. Yes, that’s me from freestyle. Yeah,

Quentin Edmonds (13:49)

That’s so—

Duron Dimmock (13:50)

That’s all from you, all from what you just said.

This is how my spirit works, and this is how my mind works. A premium lifestyle, you cannot have an unleaded mindset.

Quentin Edmonds (13:58)

Yeah.

Duron Dimmock (13:59)

Yeah. And that’s the problem with a lot of things that we do. And when we approach those things, even what we’re doing right now, I want to give you premium content. I want to give you a premium word right now. And I didn’t want to come on here with the same thing that anybody else did unless everybody runs unleaded. Everybody wants unleaded.

It is crazy because people got premium cars and wish they could put unleaded in it. That’s it, that’s crazy. So to you, yeah, to me and you, those are crazy people. I want to be a w— I wish my BMW did take unleaded.

Quentin Edmonds (14:33)

Man, you, man, you said, you said so much good stuff. And when I just think about just, know, so we talking about premium, we tell her unleaded, but we got to realize that it’s the, the, the intention of whatever fuel we use is fuel for the journey. That’s what it is. It’s fuel for the journey. And so

when you go, when you talk about premium, you start to realize, okay, so what’s it’s going better, better performance on the car, cleaning out the engine, but what’s premium for me? Because premium, like you said, is I want to, not just that I can give my family a lifestyle, it got to be a premium that I’m available to be there for them for the lifestyle. So it’s just not giving them lifestyle, but it’s like you start to, so I put it to you like this, my mentor said,

“When who you are, what to do.” And like you said, boy, you said, it started revealing who you were and who you wasn’t. And when who you are, how to proceed there, therefore, what I mean? Cause who you are. So I can’t, I can’t do this. Can’t keep, listen, I’m much better have the unleaded be able to afford the unleaded in a premium. Like you start to know who you are. Know what I mean?

Duron Dimmock (15:37)

In that space, because let’s say say I like boats. I go

Quentin Edmonds (15:40)

Yup, I’m on.

Duron Dimmock (15:41)

premium with boats. I want an unleaded car so I can go premium with my boat. Just know

Quentin Edmonds (15:45)

One moment.

Duron Dimmock (15:46)

that there are things in my life, in my premium lifestyle, in my rich lifestyle, which has less to do with money and more so to do with the things that make you happy. In that world, in that lifestyle, you have to figure out the things that make you happy and make you smile. The

Quentin Edmonds (16:00)

That’s.

Duron Dimmock (16:01)

things that my I wanna,

I can be driving I was driving my the this the my Range Rover,

Quentin Edmonds (16:06)

Yeah.

Duron Dimmock (16:07)

which was about eighty grand, right?

Do you know I was driving that truck every day, wishing I had the truck that I wanted that was half of that?

I wanted a

Quentin Edmonds (16:12)

Look at that.

Duron Dimmock (16:14)

UC, I just wanted a U, I wanted a big SUV to get my grandkids in and to get, and that’s when it really dawned on me. What the hell? What are you doing?

Quentin Edmonds (16:22)

Yeah, come on,

Duron Dimmock (16:23)

And then he goes to add injury to the insult.

Quentin Edmonds (16:26)

Yeah.

Duron Dimmock (16:26)

I go get me a new truck, full-size SUV. I put that in the garage. I told my wife, won’t you drive?

Quentin Edmonds (16:31)

Yeah.

Duron Dimmock (16:31)

No, I said, my son, my son, one of my sons came and got it. He drove for two weeks. He said, “Dad, you don’t want it back?” I was Man, you just drive to work, whatever you want to do. My other son said, “You know what? I want to put it on Turo.” He put it on Turo. It was working.

Quentin Edmonds (16:43)

I’m on.

Duron Dimmock (16:43)

How many things in our life have we had like that? How many things in our life have we had like that where it was it was too much from day one, it was it was too much on day two, and way too much on day three?

It’s too much. And you just simplify your life and look at it in a way that makes you happy. Want to drive this because I like to travel like this. I want to invest

Quentin Edmonds (17:06)

Yeah.

Duron Dimmock (17:07)

in real estate and do this so I can get to this.

Quentin Edmonds (17:10)

Yeah. Yeah.

Duron Dimmock (17:11)

Simplify it and break it down because that’s really the problem of why we can’t get ahead. Because we don’t want to simplify it.

Quentin Edmonds (17:18)

So, bro, say, so I can talk to you like this, man, because you already said you’re co-collaborate as God. So can talk to you like this, right? There’s a scripture that we love to talk about when he says, he’ll give us the desires of our heart. Right. We love to talk about that scripture. I don’t think we look at the accompany scriptures around it, but that scripture actually means is that he will get, he will give you what you desire. I think most of us, we want the desires that we want,

but not the desires that he wants us to have. Because if we get the desires he wants, he knows that that comes with your capacity, that you’re able to handle what it is that he gives you. And so I think most of us, we think what we want is from, as my mentor would say, it’s from a dysregulated nervous system, if we’re being honest. Dysregulated.

Duron Dimmock (18:02)

Regulation of the regulation.

Quentin Edmonds (18:05)

Like we’ve got environment. I was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland. So we got environmental trauma. We got different things around us that programmed us.

But when we let God give us what to desire, peace comes with that. And we start to desire from a peaceful place. And then we want to just protect our peace. I’m not trying to run and chase to keep up with this. I’m not trying to break my back to have this. Everything that I have has to start from peace and then it illuminates out. And if it’s going to disperse my peace, then that God ain’t want me to, he don’t want me to have. You

Duron Dimmock (18:33)

Absolutely. Absolutely.

Quentin Edmonds (18:34)

like that? Yeah.

Duron Dimmock (18:35)

Absolutely. No, you should everybody, even people who are not who are not necessarily 100% believers or whatever it may be, there is some God. You gotta serve some God, a God, the God, one God, another guy. There is a higher source. Yeah. There’s a higher power. And if you don’t have that higher power, believe in that higher power, who do you go to when you’re in that corner by yourself?

Because I’m gonna tell you now, success is lonely. Success is in corners, success keeps you awake, success has you with bags under your eyes, success is a lot.

Quentin Edmonds (19:10)

Yeah.

Duron Dimmock (19:11)

And I’ll tell you something. Failure is just as much.

Quentin Edmonds (19:14)

Moment.

Duron Dimmock (19:15)

Failure is just as much. So to keep balance that middle part of that scale, that’s the belief. That’s the belief. That’s the belief.

The way it scales and it’s funny because I’m a Libra. But that that that middle has the belief. So don’t matter what you think and don’t think, or what you see or don’t see, whatever, both sides believe. That’s the thing about it. Both sides believe. But that’s why they both exist. That’s why they exist.

Quentin Edmonds (19:39)

I hope y’all get that. I hope y’all get that. Both sides believe. That’s why, that’s why it broke. That was great.

Duron Dimmock (19:48)

Yeah, that is it’s it’s is that’s what people miss. They talk about good and evil. They only exist because both sides believe.

They can’t exist. The devil wouldn’t be a factor if he didn’t believe he believed. That’s what makes him a factor, because he is a believer also. Go into the ocean deep.

Quentin Edmonds (20:04)

Yeah, we can be around this. I’m definitely going to remind that.

Duron Dimmock (20:07)

And that’s and honestly, that’s where the source of your power can come from. Because if you believe, it’s almost like you having a conversation saying, “I don’t know, they don’t know why you even acting or talking or trying. We both believers. We both believers. You you may have did this, went over here, went up there, said this, blessed somebody, or unblessed somebody, whatever you do, it don’t matter.

The one thing me and you both got in common, you believe. Because if you didn’t, you wouldn’t be a factor. We will be trying to save you. We don’t have to save him because he’s a believer already.”

Quentin Edmonds (20:41)

And listen, when I tell you, talking, you talking, man, like, so we, we giving people a lot. We giving people a lot of nuggets. And some people, some people are, they’re going to accept or reject, which is fine. So I just want to keep, I just want to keep dropping nuggets.

Duron Dimmock (20:56)

They believe though.

Quentin Edmonds (20:57)

There you go. There you

Duron Dimmock (20:59)

Accept and reject, but they believe.

Quentin Edmonds (21:01)

Go. Let’s keep dropping nuggets. Businessman, your successful businessman. I think.

Every sustainable business has to have systems in place that work for the business, right? So I just, from your experience, I would love for you to give the people maybe one operational thing you’ve put in place. Let’s say like the last two years that has had profound impact on your success.

Duron Dimmock (21:23)

I would say my network. One of the things that’s been hard for me, 2025 was very, very hard for me because I prayed a prayer in 2024 that I had to be ready for. I told God to release and remove everything that is not for me, to remove every person. When I say remove every person, you gotta put everybody in there. That means your wife, your sister, that means everybody. And that’s scary. Very, very scary. And you hope that

your people come out on the other side and

Quentin Edmonds (21:47)

Yeah.

Duron Dimmock (21:48)

really with you. But in a lot of cases they’re not. Yeah. And I was able to lean on a lot of business, some business friends of mine with with the network, being able to just talk to them, being able to just run things by them, being able to just rely on them. Because I’m gonna tell you right now, I have no idea how I paid my mortgage or paid anything in 2025. I couldn’t tell you.

It was some money here, got behind over here, caught it up over here, did this over here. But one thing it did is make me even more of a believer. That’s that’s what it did. Cause I can’t go back and tell you any of the deals or transactions or anything. This year I’m very clear, but 2024 prayer led to a stripping in 2025 and now a blessing in 2026. And 2027, I’m gonna tell you now, my it’s so big in 2027. 2027 is so big that

I feel like I need help. I’m feeling overwhelmed already with 2027. And I don’t even think I threw the first stone yet.

Quentin Edmonds (22:39)

Rob me. So I’m going be, I’m going be very candid. This is very different than a lot of other podcasts that I do. Yeah.

Duron Dimmock (22:46)

I was intentional about that, right? Yeah, yeah.

Quentin Edmonds (22:48)

Yeah. And I know it, and I told you, I did a little bit of background on you. I probably did more background on you than I do on other people. I didn’t know why I didn’t since why I know why now. But it’s interesting that you talked about the 24, 24, 25 prayer three times today,

I told people about what I was praying in 24 and 25. And so there’s this scripture that I pray. Duron, I’m not going to lie to you, probably every single day, I believe it’s 2 Corinthians 9, and the NIV version. But this is what it says. It says, “And God is able to bless me abundantly so that

so that in all things at all times having all that I need, I can abound in every good—” And God is able to bless me abundantly so that in all things at all times having all that I need, I can abound in every good— was praying that because my confidence was so low between 24 and 25. And I mean, listen, I know you’re going to feel this, but it’s just as a man,

provider and I’ll put air quotes because providing is more than just financial providing for our family.

And my confidence was so low that I had to say that to myself every day. And what it boils down to that scripture saying, no matter what I had my hands on, it’s enough to get the job done. And, Duron, I think, sometimes we can say that it sounds real pretty, but it’s like, when you said a stone, it’s like a stone versus Goliath. Like you’re really telling me this stone is really enough. That’s what you’re really telling me.

And like you said, here we are, in 2026. I am when you bro, I can almost use your exact words. The 2027 that God is showing me. I’m like, I need some help. I have no idea other than leaning on what you did in the past. That’s all I got to say is going to get accomplished, but I don’t know the clear roadmap. I have no idea.

Duron Dimmock (24:34)

No, I have no clue. I’m excited about it. I’ve written it down. I’ve prayed about it. I’ve done all kinds of things about it. But I’m like, God, and the one thing I’m very clear about is that he like, I want you to keep going. I don’t care. I don’t I don’t care what’s discouraging you. I don’t care what’s getting in front of you. I don’t care. But I want you to keep going. Keep pushing. Don’t stop. Keep looking at it. Keep looking at that house. Keep looking at that car. Keep looking at whatever, whatever you whatever you feel like I have spoken to you about. You keep going. I’ll let if I spoke to you or not.

Well, one thing I want you to know is you keep going. You keep going. You ride by that dealership, you ride by that house, you ride by that building, you ride by it, you keep riding by, you keep riding by. And then I’m gonna put you in it. And then once I put you in it, I want you to tell somebody else to keep riding by, to keep riding by, to keep going. And I want you, I want you to ride by because I want you to be crazy about me. I want you to be crazy about the things. I don’t want you to be what everybody else thinks you should be. I don’t want you to be and think the way everybody else thinks you should think.

I want you to be crazy about me.

Quentin Edmonds (25:31)

Yeah.

Duron Dimmock (25:31)

Crazy about what you tr— what you what you’re doing. Because if not, what else, what what else are we doing?

Quentin Edmonds (25:37)

What What are we doing?

Duron Dimmock (25:39)

What are we doing here? What, eat some good food, going on vacation? Yeah.

Quentin Edmonds (25:45)

Yeah, it’s with so I heard you got the goals. So what is next? What is next for you in the business? What are you looking to solve or scale next? Like, give me a little glimpse of what is next for

Duron Dimmock (25:55)

So we’re gonna be putting it— we’re working on the business kind of being on a model where we’re gonna be doing our our event called Sip & Flip. So we have an event called Sip & Flip. All right. Sip & Flip is basically a real estate networking event where all the resources that you need to get started in real estate. A lot of people want to get started in real estate, but they don’t know where to get started. So we want to invite you out to come and meet, mingle, and build relationships with people.

I’ve been running it for years.

Quentin Edmonds (26:22)

Yeah.

Duron Dimmock (26:22)

but we took off the last year or two, and now we want to jump back in. I want to kind of jump back in, especially with kind of the Invest Fest thing going on. I want I want to become one of the solutions to people being able to have resources to get or just even the information to get to what they’re trying to get to.

Quentin Edmonds (26:40)

Yes.

Duron Dimmock (26:40)

And I want I want to host that again. So Sip & Flip, and from Sip & Flip,

we invite agents, brokers, first-time investors, first-time homeowners. We invite everybody out. And when you come out, we gather all your information, we make sure we contact you and follow up, but it gives you a starting point. Credit, no credit, cash, no cash. It doesn’t matter. Come out. Have a sip with us while we talk about flipping not only houses, but flipping the money, flipping relationships, flipping everything into a profit.

Quentin Edmonds (27:07)

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love it, man. I think one of the, one of the questions I got to ask you before we get out of here, cause I love the way you think. And so I want to hear your philosophy or even the way you do business relationships. Right? So what is, what is your view on building healthy business relationships? What are some of the relationships that have helped you within business and what are some

relationships that you have helped in business. Just talk to me a little bit on your philosophy about building a healthy business relationship.

Duron Dimmock (27:35)

Leaving a knot that can be untied. There are gonna be knots. Leaving a knot to where it can be untied. That is one of the most important things. Most important things. There will be knots. There will, there will, you can’t avoid— you can’t avoid a knot. There will be knots. Not everybody, it’s a— not everybody is going to agree with you. Knot. But leave that knot to where it can be untied.

And that allows you to grow. It allows you to think about it later on. It allows you to make decisions because we all make emotional decisions. There’s no such thing. Try— we try not to make emotional decisions, but we all make emotional decisions because you are an emotional person. You have emotions. You have emotions. Yep. You’re you’re a spiritual being dealing with human emotions. That’s what you are. Spiritual being dealing with human emotions.

If you was in the spirit at all times, you wouldn’t even be able to help nobody with human emotion. So you got to know what they’re going through. You got to know what depression is. You have to know what struggle is. You have to know what these things are before you can help anybody. And that’s how God meant it to be. He meant it to be. That’s where the help comes from. Now, the relationship, some of my best relationships, my friend Kevin, who owns one of the largest clubs here in Atlanta, he and I fell out once upon a time over about ten thousand. My wife said, “Well,

maybe he needed it.” And in my mind I’m like, “I need—”

But for her mind to even go that route and say, “Maybe he just he needed it.” She was like, “What? I don’t know your relationship with him. But if he’s a friend and he needed it, try to look at it from a different angle.” And I did. And since we have been back together and since we’ve seen each other, he has repaid me probably 10 times over. Ten times over.

With everything he’s done, he’s still doing things to this day that allows me to say I appreciate you. Yeah, thank you so much. And we tell each other we love each other, the brotherhood is there. He’s one of the guys I talk to when it comes when things get rough and tough. But that was being able to get back to what you guys are working on, yeah, committing to that, yeah, committing to.

The goal.

Quentin Edmonds (29:38)

Yeah, there it is.

Duron Dimmock (29:39)

And I would say the transparency of how you really feel, which is, again, your bandwidth and your tolerance level for this particular venture. Yeah. Or whatever, whatever we’re doing, whatever you’re trying. Though those are those are some of the key things that we need to talk about in relationships and business. Yeah.

Quentin Edmonds (29:58)

Leave a knot that can be untied. I’ve never heard that in my life. And when people talk, I see pictures. I immediately, seen the knot and I also seen the untying of the knot. I seen the intentional tie of the knot and the pull to make it tight. But then I also seen the careful fingers that it took to untied knot, to untied tether. And so I always say community is common in unity.

It’s people that’s in unity about the common goal.

Duron Dimmock (30:25)

Absolutely.

Quentin Edmonds (30:26)

It’s also something to be said is when the unity is no longer there. Communicating about, what kept us together, kept the knot tied, unfortunately, we’re going to have to untie it. It’s not.

Duron Dimmock (30:38)

Exactly.

Quentin Edmonds (30:39)

I think that’s beautiful. I think that’s a beautiful representation of

just how relationships can be. Because you said it yourself. You said, you prayed about the relationships, and that’s supposed to be here. Take them away. The beautiful thing, it doesn’t always have to be a hostile breakup. It can be very amicable. It can be very like, this is where this journey ends. And guess, like I said, for now.

For now, this is where there’s no more common unity here. We’re tied together, and the knot ain’t that tight no more.

I got to put a little bit more weight on this and it’s not not long. So let’s go ahead and untie this joint. And that’s, know, so I love it, man.

Duron Dimmock (31:16)

Absolutely.

Quentin Edmonds (31:16)

I appreciate you. So listen, man. If someone wanted to reach out to you, connect with you, collaborate with you, learn more about what you’re doing, how can they get in contact with you, sir?

Duron Dimmock (31:25)

Instagram @sipandflipatl. You can also go to sipandflipatl.com. Those are probably the the best two ways. Just I’m there. I’m I’m around. I’m I’m around, man, sharing one of the things I was I want to be very clear with people I don’t have all the answers. Yeah, I don’t have all the answers. I have a degree in not knowing. But during the time of getting that degree of not knowing, it allowed me to understand and know.

That I don’t know, but I want to know. I should know. Hopefully I’ll find out.

Quentin Edmonds (31:54)

So bro, so the way my brain works, you said I have a degree in not knowing. And I just wrote it down, K-N-O-T, to related to the tying of the knot that you just said. So you have a degree in knot knowing. When the knot is tight, and when I don’t know if this knot going to hold. Like, I have a degree in knot knowing. So that’s what I thought when you said it. That’s what I— that’s the bar. That’s from you. So this is how.

Cause we didn’t talk, we talked a lot, but this, I’ll say it like this to make it less spooky. Say it like this. My wife always says language is living. We’re always language and communication is a flow. It’s ebb and flow. And so I’m just getting downloads from language that’s already existed and we’re just flowing it through to each other. And so, yeah, man, bro, I appreciate you.

And you already get this. I’m so in my head about what’s said. You already gave what people can get contacted, right? You already, you already played that out. Man, this is good for me, bro. So let me say three things to you sincerely. One, reiteration: thank you for your time. I, again, I think time is our most precious commodity. Like you said, you got kids, you got a wife, you got a business. So I know this was advantageous for you, but still thank you for your time. You didn’t have to do it, but you did. So thank you for that.

Secondly, man, thank you for the gift of your authenticity, the gift of your integrity, the gift of your vulnerability. I believe when we talk about our stories, it plants seeds for people. We never know when those seeds is going to grow. We don’t even know when they’re going to take root. That’s not even our job. We just throw the seed out there. And I believe, you threw some real seeds out there that can just take root in people’s and course correct some of the places where they are.

And lastly brother, thank you for your mindset. Thank you for the way you think and bringing that mindset to this platform. I greatly appreciate you coming on that. I appreciate it.

Duron Dimmock (33:31)
