Behind every successful couple is a story most people never see — the late nights, the tight budgets, the faith under pressure, and the quiet decisions that compound into legacy.

On this episode of The CJ Moneyway Sh$w, CJ sits down with real estate power couple Dedric Polite and Krystal Polite, stars of 50/50 Flip and founders of Be Polite Properties.

Their story is more than flipping homes.

It’s about flipping the script on generational wealth.

Before television cameras and multi-million-dollar portfolios, there was survival.

Dedric grew up in Section 8 housing in Roxbury. Krystal hustled with three side jobs in the South. Their foundation wasn’t privilege — it was pressure. But pressure, when applied with faith and discipline, produces diamonds.

They didn’t inherit wealth.

They inherited resilience.

Their first deal wasn’t glamorous. It required grit, long hours, and belief when there wasn’t much proof. But that first property wasn’t just a transaction — it was a declaration: We’re building something bigger than us.

Marriage + Business: The 50/50 Formula

Building wealth as a couple sounds romantic — until the stress hits.

On the show, CJ and the Polites unpack what most Instagram highlight reels won’t show:

• How to divide roles without dividing the relationship
• How to disagree without damaging respect
• Why communication is the true ROI in marriage
• How faith anchors them when markets fluctuate

Their philosophy is simple but powerful:

The marriage comes first. The business follows the strength of the union.

They operate as partners — not competitors. Equal weight. Equal accountability. Equal vision.

That’s the real 50/50.

Legacy Over Luxury

Too many people chase aesthetics. The Polites chase assets.

During the conversation, they emphasize something that aligns deeply with the Moneyway philosophy: legacy > lifestyle.

“We tell our sons, ‘You have to see the grind.’ It’s not about how much money’s in the bank — it’s about the work ethic behind it.”

They want their children to witness the process — not just enjoy the outcome.

Financial literacy isn’t a seminar in their household.

It’s a lived example.

Messages in the Walls

One of the most powerful moments in the episode is the revelation that they literally leave handwritten notes inside the walls of the homes they renovate.

Encouragement. Faith. Affirmations.

Hidden messages for future homeowners — reminders that someone built this space with intention.

That detail says everything.

They’re not just flipping properties.

They’re planting seeds.

The Moneyway Alignment

In the Moneyway world, success isn’t just measured in revenue — it’s measured in what you build brick by brick.

Dedric and Krystal represent:

• Partnership rooted in purpose
• Wealth built with discipline
• Faith that fuels execution
• A blueprint that other couples can follow

This episode isn’t just for real estate investors.

It’s for builders — in business, in marriage, in legacy.

Because true wealth isn’t about what you earn alone.

It’s about what you build together.
