What is the one fear that is quietly stopping you from your first deal and what happens when you ask yourself why five times to kill it at the root?

In this special episode of Skip the Lines Podcast, Jonathan Mitchell sits down with Henry Washington. Henry breaks down how he went from bad credit to portfolio pro by walking into a community bank with a signed contract and walking out with a plan. We talk portfolio lending, the real difference between big banks and local lenders, why money is the easy part and the deal is the hard part, and how service first networking took him to the BiggerPockets host chair. Expect practical playbooks for funding flips and BRRRR style holds, a fearless approach to risk, and a transparent seller conversation that wins trust and the contract.

You will also hear how Henry chose Northwest Arkansas, what makes the market hum, and the mindset moves he uses when five grand in mailers feels scary. If you are stuck on the starting line, this one hands you the map and the courage.

Subscribe for more operator level playbooks, share this with a friend who needs their first win, and follow Henry on Instagram at the Henry Washington to learn how to fund and close your next deal.
