In just a few short years, inspiring power couple Dedric and Krystal Polite have made millions in real estate buying, renovating, flipping and wholesaling houses. But they’ve strategically built long term wealth by also buying and holding rental properties, ensuring financial freedom through passive income and consistent cash flow. In Season 1 of their nationally televised home renovation series viewers got a front-row seat to see how they do it. In Season 2 they’ll renovate 10 more properties, selling some and keeping some in their rental portfolio. In addition they’ll get their feet wet with new construction providing much needed affordable housing for their community.
The ten-episode series follows the dynamic couple as they renovate and flip 10 single and multi-family homes, each one for under $50,000 and all in under 50 days. Unlike any other ‘flipping’ show, the Polites share valuable insight on how to acquire properties at a discount, secure funding and determine whether to rent or sell the homes they’ve purchased and renovated. They show the ‘real’ side to real estate, while always fashionable and dressed for success, another way this fun, personable couple stands out in the home renovation television show space.
Krystal and Dedric started ‘Be Polite Properties’ in North Carolina in 2017, with a goal of lifting communities through home renovation and building generational wealth. In a three-year period, they went from owning three properties to over 70 rental units, valued at over $7 million. Their robust portfolio includes seven businesses focused on both long and short-term rentals, flipping and wholesaling properties, a non profit focused on providing affordable housing, a real estate education company, and a new business launching a chain of family entertainment centers in 2023 and beyond. With Dedric’s expertise in acquisitions, finance, dispositions and raising money and Krystal’s mastery of business, brand management and marketing, they are an in-demand dream team for home transformations, real estate investing, and business growth.
The Polites, parents to two young sons, are passionate about giving back. Always popular on the speaking circuit, they have shared their vast real estate knowledge at over 35 seminars/business events nationwide and on their YouTube channel, eager to educate and empower others to achieve financial independence. Their success was also chronicled in the real estate book ‘Profit Like the Pros,’ written by HGTV star Ken Corsini.
The power couple grew up Boston, with Dedric graduating from Amherst College and Krystal from Northeastern University before both rose quickly in the corporate world. Dedric has worked for the Fortune 500 company Novartis Pharmaceuticals, marketing software giant HubSpot and Ecommerce software company Channel Advisor. Krystal served in management roles at the telecommunications conglomerate Comcast, Boston Scientific and Delaware North before honing her real estate expertise at a large property valuation firm. Now they’re taking the business world by storm while teaching others how to do the same.
