In this episode, Gian Pazzia shares the mindset shift that separates casual investors from strategic ones. Your biggest expense is taxes. Lowering that, even slightly, can fuel serious growth if you put those savings back into real estate.

This isn’t about loopholes or chasing write-offs. It’s about leading with intention, protecting your capital, and thinking like a true wealth builder.

Gian also drops a gem on what to say when someone tells you to just make less money to save on taxes. Hint: that’s not the move.

In this episode, Kevin Bupp shares the hard truth about what went wrong early in his investing journey. His portfolio in Florida was built mostly on appreciation, not durable cash flow. And when the market turned, it turned fast.

Rents dropped. Jobs disappeared. Occupancy slipped. Even with low leverage and built-in equity, many properties lost 50 to 60 percent of their value in one year. It wasn’t sustainable.

Kevin explains how that experience reshaped his entire approach. Today, it’s all about conservative underwriting, real stress tests, and making sure properties can stand up to worst case scenarios.

This one is a wake-up call for anyone still playing the appreciation game without a backstop.

In this episode, Kevin Bupp breaks down how real value in mobile home park investing comes from the land, not the homes. Since the homes are considered personal property, like cars or trucks, they tend to lose value and create more management headaches.

The better play is to own the land, collect durable lot rent, and sell off the park-owned homes when possible. Doing this simplifies operations, reduces turnover, and increases exit value by making the property more attractive to buyers who don’t want the hassle of owning homes.

Kevin explains how this model leads to more predictable cash flow, lower expenses, and even cap rate compression when it's time to sell.

Kevin Bupp shares how he got started in mobile home park investing without knowing much at the time. What he did know was that the affordable housing crisis was real then, and it's even more urgent now.

Mobile home parks offer one of the best unsubsidized housing options in the country. For the same price as a rental apartment, families can own a brand new home in a better neighborhood and often in a stronger school district. The model creates real value and gives working families a shot at stability and pride in ownership.

It's not just an investment. It solves a real problem. Demand is rising. Supply is shrinking. And the opportunity is still out there for those paying attention.

In this episode, Kevin Bupp breaks down what actually builds wealth that lasts. He shares how chasing appreciation in 2008 nearly cost him everything, and why he shifted to buying assets with real cash flow from day one.

We talk about how reinvesting cash flow and giving it time to work can beat any market timing strategy. Kevin also shares why working harder than the next person is still one of the most underrated competitive edges.

This is about long-term thinking, steady growth, and building wealth without guessing.

In this episode, Kevin Bupp shares two mantras that guide how he leads, invests, and raises his kids. One comes from Warren Buffett. The other is about getting uncomfortable on purpose. Both hit hard if you're serious about growth.

We also talk about how discomfort isn't just a phase. It's a filter. From real estate decisions to military deployments, it's in the moments of pressure where real leadership shows up.

This isn't just another investing chat. It's a mindset check. And a reminder that playing it safe won’t get you where you want to go.

Growth demands discomfort. Leadership gets tested daily. And mindset shapes everything.

This time, Hutch takes the mic and gets straight to it.

If you're trying to break into real estate, you need more than a spreadsheet and a dream. You need reps. You need relationships. You need to be in the room, bidding on deals, learning from each one, and getting better.

Hutch shares why building your buy box, finding the right mentors, and showing brokers you're serious will take you further than chasing perfect timing. Most people won’t win the first 10 or even 50 deals. But the ones who stick around get noticed.

Want to be in best and final? Start acting like someone worth picking.

In this episode, Brian Truman shares the unexpected moment that catapulted him into multifamily real estate. It wasn’t a carefully laid plan. It wasn’t some step-by-step course. It was one opportunity, a crowded room full of curious investors, and a willingness to show up when others would’ve clocked out.

Brian breaks down how saying yes in that moment led to 100+ buyers, a fast-paced entry into multifamily, and a lesson that still holds true today: real opportunity doesn’t always show up on your schedule.

Having a supportive spouse, staying flexible, and picking up the phone might be the difference between a missed moment and a momentum shift.

Sometimes the door doesn’t knock twice.
