Pre-Bubble business
At the age of 25 in 2001, Cordle owned a house flipping business that was doing dozens of properties every year. The business employed 22 day laborers. Cordle lost his fliping business as a result of the 2008 market crash.

Post-Bubble business
After having lost his business in part due to the housing market crash, Cordle attempted to take a new approach to his house flipping formula and included rental properties as a way of new cash-flow. He claims this new method allowed him to own rental properties free and clear ensuring that he would not be in debt and would only profit with the rental properties.
Financial and legal troubles
During the 2007-2009 recession, Cordle lost his business in part due to the market collapse. In 2014 in an Indiana civil lawsuit by a former business partner, a $1.5 million judgement was rendered against him to recover damages from breach of fiduciary duties, gross mismanagement, fraudulent conveyance, and unjust enrichment, according to the lawsuit. In 2015, in yet another civil suit, this time by a student and investor with Cordle and his companies, a judgement was entered against Cordle for $190,000 plus attorney and court costs.
National clubs
Since his return as a real estate teacher, Cordle created REIA clubs and a few had begun to open up in the North West Indiana area.
