Start small or go big in real estate?

Everyone has an opinion. Most of them are wrong.

If you are a beginner investor with zero units, this episode breaks down the real decision that actually determines whether you succeed or stay stuck.

This is not about single family vs multifamily. It is not about duplex vs apartments, and it is definitely not about chasing the biggest deal you can find.

In this episode, we break down:

• Why most new investors ask the wrong first question

• How confidence gates quietly control your growth

• When starting small is smart and when it becomes a trap

• How some investors skip steps and why most cannot

• The real role of mindset, environment, and action

• Why getting in the right rooms changes everything

• How talking to people creates deals you will never find online

If you are waiting for the perfect deal, more education, or more certainty, this episode will challenge that thinking.

Real estate rewards action, not overthinking.

Most investors ignore on-market deals because they think all the good opportunities are off-market.

That mindset is exactly why they keep missing great deals.

In this episode, we break down how one on-market deal turned into a massive win, even though everyone else passed on it. The listing was public. The numbers were there. The upside was obvious if you knew what to look for.

This is not a story about luck. It is about doing the work others refuse to do.

We talk about:

- On-market vs off-market deals and why the distinction is overrated

- How deals are actually made, not found

- Why talking to brokers and sellers matters more than deal sourcing hacks

- How to spot hidden upside in plain sight

- The mistakes investors make when they only look at listings on the surface

If you are waiting for the perfect off-market deal, you may be sitting on the sidelines forever. The best opportunities often come from conversations, negotiation, and understanding value better than the next person.

One of my tenants set their own apartment on fire.

This episode isn't clickbait. This actually happened... and it is the second time someone has tried to burn this property down.

In this episode, I want to break down what really happens when chaos hits a real estate deal, why I did not panic, and what separates experienced operators from investors who get shaken out of the game.

We talk about tenant risk, distressed assets, property management systems, insurance decisions, and why larger multifamily properties can actually reduce stress when things go wrong.

This is the side of real estate investing most people never talk about. Fires. Crime. Bad tenants. And the mindset required to handle it without blowing up your portfolio or your mental health.

If you are investing in apartments, mobile home parks, or any income producing real estate, this is a real world example of why systems matter more than emotion.

What We Talk About:

• Tenant caused damage and arson

• Risk mitigation in multifamily investing

• Why scale changes how problems are handled

• Property management and insurance decisions

• Distressed assets and long term value creation

• Improving communities and tenant quality

• Investor mindset during high stress events

This is not meant to scare you away from real estate. It is meant to show you the reality, and how experienced investors stay calm and keep moving forward.
