At 16, Phoebe Grier flipped a home in Lexington, Kentucky, using a hard-money loan supported by her father and a private investor. Despite juggling the project with summer jobs like babysitting, Grier faced mixed reactions from peers, with many unaware of her endeavor. Her passion for design, rooted in childhood experiences watching home renovation shows, fueled her ambition. The successful flip resulted in a $39,500 profit, which she split between savings, donations, and purchasing a car, showcasing her entrepreneurial spirit at a young age.
If I want to do something, I want to do it. I make it happen. It also definitely helped to get empowerment and encouragement from my parents.
While my friends were spending their summers going out to eat, they didn't realize I was focused on flipping a house and making real investments.
I’ve always had a passion for design and houses, and my mom and I bonded over HGTV, fueling my interest in flipping homes.
The $39,500 profit I made was just the beginning; I saved some, donated some, and used part of it to buy a car.
