In this episode, I sit down with my longtime student and REI Live member Stacio, who recently made the bold decision to leave his government W2 engineering job and go all in on real estate investing. We dive into his journey from buying a few rentals over a decade to finally breaking through with a full-time virtual wholesale deal. He shares how he overcame fear, built daily habits, joined our community at REILive.co, and closed a deal that took months of consistent follow-up. This one’s for anyone who’s thinking about making the leap — the mindset, the action, and the payoff are all here. If you're stuck in your job and dreaming of something more, this is your roadmap.
