In this episode, we sit down with Texas investor Rudy Carrillo to talk about his journey into real estate and the unconventional path that led him here.

Rudy shares how he got his start in the roofing industry, working alongside his father and learning construction from the ground up. What started as hands-on experience in storm restoration and roofing eventually evolved into real estate investing — giving him a unique perspective on evaluating properties and managing projects.

We talk about how those early lessons shaped the way he approaches deals today, the transition from construction work to real estate investing, and what it looks like to build opportunities from the skills you already have.

If you're someone who's coming into real estate from another trade or industry, Rudy's story shows how those skills can become a powerful advantage.
