About REAP: Flipping the Script on Real Estate Investing
REAP was founded by two dads, investors, and straight-shooters—Roy Nicaud and Lanny Necaise—who know firsthand how flipping houses can change lives. They didn’t start with endless cash or insider connections. They started with a vision: to build financial freedom for their families—and they did just that through strategic real estate investing.
Most people assume flipping houses is too risky, too expensive, or just too complicated. Roy and Lanny know that’s simply not true. The reality? Anyone can do it with the right guidance. That’s why they created REAP—to demystify real estate investing and show everyday people that flipping houses isn’t just for the rich or lucky.
They’ve seen too many people hesitate, overwhelmed by the process, when in reality, flipping houses isn’t hard—it just takes the right approach. Through REAP, they cut through the noise, simplify the strategy, and teach real, actionable steps that turn first-time flippers into confident investors.
Whether you’re looking to flip your first property or scale your investments, REAP is here to make it happen.

Hi, I'm Lanny
Lanny Necaise – Real Estate Investor & Mentor
Lanny Necaise isn’t just in the real estate game—he’s playing to win. With a multi-million dollar portfolio spanning multiple states, he’s mastered the art of finding the deals others miss and turning fixer-uppers into high-value assets. His expertise in spotting unique investment opportunities and executing high-impact renovations makes him a powerhouse in the industry.
But Lanny didn’t start at the top. Like many investors, he faced early challenges, hard lessons, and a few renovation surprises (because let’s be honest, there’s always a plumbing issue). Instead of backing down, he refined his approach, built a rock-solid investment strategy, and created a roadmap for long-term wealth.
Now, through REAP, Lanny is passing on his knowledge to both aspiring and experienced investors. Whether it’s raising private capital, scaling a portfolio, or flipping with confidence, he’s here to make real estate investing make sense—without the guesswork.
Ready to level up your investing game? Lanny’s got the strategies, the experience, and just the right amount of straight talk to get you there.
