Ever wonder how to build substantial real estate wealth while keeping your day job? Meet Cole, a full-time airline pilot, part-time military helicopter pilot, and real estate investor who's built a $5.5 million portfolio spanning 63 units—all without quitting his aviation career.

Cole's journey began humbly washing dishes as a teenager, using minimum wage earnings to fund his passion for flying. His first real estate purchase was a modest $100,000 HUD foreclosure bought with just $3,000 down. That single property became the foundation for his multi-million dollar portfolio. Unlike many real estate personalities advocating for immediate large-scale investments, Cole shares a refreshingly practical approach focused on gradual growth and strategic positioning.

One of his key insights is the critical importance of your first few deals. While experienced investors can weather unexpected expenses, newcomers need particular caution to avoid burnout. Cole also reveals practical hacks like obtaining a real estate license to earn commissions on purchases and save when selling. For busy professionals juggling careers with real estate aspirations, his time-efficient approach to property analysis—completing evaluations in under 20 minutes by focusing only on fundamental value drivers—provides a realistic framework for success.

What makes Cole's perspective valuable is his commitment to authenticity over hype. He's building a community for real operators rather than selling courses or promoting get-rich-quick schemes. Whether you're contemplating your first property purchase or looking to scale while maintaining your career, his journey demonstrates how disciplined investing and patient positioning can transform modest beginnings into significant wealth. Ready to see how your first $100,000 property might change everything? Join Cole as he documents his continuing real estate journey.
