From Homeless to Million Dollar Flippers: A Story of a Couple on the Run

From Homeless to Million Dollar Flippers: A Story of a Couple on the Run

Addicted. Incarcerated. Homeless. Most people don’t come back from that. But Cleadus and Erin did—together. This isn’t just a story about flipping houses. It’s about flipping your life. Once two lost souls battling addiction, running from the law, and scraping by in motel rooms and jail cells, Cleadus and Erin Shelton found redemption in the most unlikely places—recovery programs, late-night conversations, and eventually, real estate. Today, they’ve flipped more than 150 properties, built a multimillion-dollar rental portfolio, and celebrated over 18 years of sobriety together. But their greatest investment wasn’t in houses—it was in each other, in healing, and in hope. From Homeless to Million Dollar Flippers is a raw, unfiltered look at what it takes to rebuild from rock bottom. It’s about relapse and resilience, second chances and self-discovery, and choosing purpose when pain says you have none. This book is for anyone who’s ever felt stuck, ashamed, or too far gone. Cleadus and Erin are living proof: You’re not too broken to be rebuilt. And your comeback can be greater than your rock bottom.
