Welcome to another episode of Step It Up Entrepreneur podcast with your host, Tomas Keenan. Today, we're thrilled to have Tony Lopes with us, sharing his incredible journey from a mechanical engineer to a real estate mogul. Broadcasting from Florida, Tony opens up about his blue-collar immigrant upbringing that instilled in him a relentless work ethic and drive. Guided by his parents' advice, he initially pursued stable degrees in mechanical engineering and business administration. However, an unexpected layoff became a turning point, steering him toward entrepreneurship and real estate.

Starting small with a four-unit multifamily property, Tony's 20-year journey culminated in acquiring a 153-unit apartment complex. He highlights the importance of overcoming fear, recognizing personal capabilities, and adopting a hands-on approach to real estate investment. As a coach, Tony helps others navigate their investment paths and conquer psychological barriers. He also introduces his book, "Freedom at Risk," which establishes his authority in the field and educates future generations on financial independence. The book addresses contemporary threats to personal and financial freedoms, offering strategies like investing in real estate and understanding financial systems to safeguard them.

Throughout our discussion, Tony highlights the significant opportunities that have come from becoming an author, from speaking engagements to major business investments. He underscores the importance of perseverance, finding supportive communities, and pursuing goals despite any naysayers. Tune in for an inspiring and informative discussion that might just change your perspective on real estate and financial freedom.
