In this episode, we sit down with Sang Vu—real estate investor, broker, and longtime friend of Mike—who went from moving to the U.S. from Vietnam with nothing… to building a $69 million portfolio. But it wasn’t all smooth sailing.

Sang shares how he built it up, lost it all, and then clawed his way back. Half of his current portfolio is solo-owned, the other half is with partners, and every unit comes with a story. This episode is full of lessons on resilience, risk, and what it really takes to bounce back in real estate after getting knocked down.

In this episode, the Junkies get real about something that can make or break your investing journey—the people you do deals with.

Whether you're thinking about starting a partnership or you’re deep in one, this conversation will give you a fresh perspective on why who you work with is just as important as the deal itself.

Listen in and learn how to protect your time, your energy, and your money.
