Boring Assets with Strong Fundamentals Outperform the Flashy Ones with Paul Moore | 58
In this episode, I sit down with Paul Moore—serial entrepreneur, investor, and founder of Wellings Capital. After selling two businesses and making (and losing) millions, Paul found his true calling in commercial real estate, specifically in overlooked asset classes like self-storage and mobile home parks.
We dive into the lessons he learned from his early missteps, the metrics that matter most in real estate, and why he’s obsessed with helping high-income earners protect and grow their wealth. If you’ve ever felt like you should be further ahead—or want to make fewer mistakes along the way—this episode is packed with wisdom, humility, and strategy.
Episode Highlights:
[1:45] – Paul’s entrepreneurial beginnings and how he exited two companies
[4:18] – Losing millions and learning what not to do with money
[7:06] – Finding commercial real estate after the painful lessons
[10:42] – Why he focuses on “boring” asset classes like self-storage and mobile home parks
[13:09] – The difference between speculation and investing
[16:14] – What makes a sponsor truly trustworthy in Paul’s eyes
[18:35] – How to identify asymmetric risk and avoid losing money
[22:20] – Paul’s mission to help others avoid the wealth destruction he experienced
[25:02] – What the ultra-wealthy do differently (and how you can do the same)
[28:33] – The surprising mindset shift that made Paul a better investor and person
[31:45] – How his faith and values shape his investment philosophy
5 Key Takeaways:
Success doesn’t always teach you what you need to know—losses do.
Boring assets with strong fundamentals often outperform the flashy ones.
Character and alignment matter more than past returns when vetting sponsors.
Real investing is about protecting the downside first.
Purpose and profit aren’t mutually exclusive—Paul’s building both.
