// 7 Key Lessons

Do 100 reps before you judge your results: Whether it’s podcasting or property investing, you don’t find your voice until you’ve done the work — repeatedly.

Spot opportunity where others see moss: That Pepto Bismol-pink house with shag carpet might be ugly, but the best investors see the numbers first, not the paint color.

Do the deal, even if it’s weird: From “fixer-upper we didn’t fix” to the 11-unit full of problems, the best stories — and profits — come from bold, imperfect action.

Learn from the ones that sting: The property you lost money on teaches you more than the one that tripled in value. Tuition paid in mistakes is still education.

Bring your family into the journey: Let your kids see the work, the wins, and the cleanups. You’re not just building wealth — you’re building wisdom.

Keep going, even when stats don’t matter yet: Before you optimize metrics, build momentum. The consistency muscle always beats the analytics brain.

Invest in relationships and storytelling: The next evolution of growth might not be more deals — it might be more people sharing their lessons with you.



// Let's build your wealth and improve housing, together.

I spent 12 years as a data scientist at HP and purchased $5M worth of real estate over 15 years using my own money. Now, I'm partnering with busy professionals to diversify their investments and generate passive income through real estate syndications and short-term flips—without dealing with tenants, toilets, or tantrums.


At Furlo Capital, we believe real estate isn't just a transaction; it's a partnership. Our value-add approach creates win-win situations where residents thrive, and investors build wealth. We're not just in this to make money—we want to make a difference.If you're ready to diversify from stock market volatility and want reliable, steady returns, let's build your wealth and improve housing, together.
