Welcome to the first episode of the Cherrypick Capital Podcast. We are your hosts, Mark and Adam. If you want to create generational wealth through real estate, you are at the right place. The goal of this podcast is to make real estate investing radically simple.
In this episode, we share our journeys to becoming who we are today. For Mark, his first flip was at 16. Together with his brothers, they flipped a house they inherited from their grandmother. This experience sparked an interest in real estate. When Mark cleared college, he wanted to be an anesthesiologist. He took science classes but later moved to Arizona, where he got his first license and got involved with mortgages. He slowly transitioned to other things. Today, he shares his transition journey.
Adam's real estate curiosity was sparked when he took walks with his mom and discovered there were nice houses in their neighborhood, and theirs wasn't one of them. He wondered how the owners got there, only to realize they were in commercial real estate. His thirst and hunger to learn about real estate went a notch higher. He spent time researching and later decided to get his feet wet. Over time, he realized he needed to partner with someone for him to do better. Listen as he shares his journey.
