Dean’s 5th Kid, Jason’s Warehouse Deal, Stratt’s $50K Battle & LI Tech (#86)

This week, we’re diving into a side of real estate that doesn’t get talked about enough—low-income housing development. Our guest, Marcus, has been making big moves in the LI Tech space, building seven-figure companies while creating real impact in communities. He breaks down how he’s navigating the challenges, the opportunities in affordable housing, and why this sector is a goldmine if you know how to play it.

Of course, we still have some chaos—Dean just had his fifth kid, Jason locked in a warehouse deal, and Stratt is in a full-on war to close a $50K deal that just won’t quit. But this one’s really about the bigger picture—scaling, staying in the game, and making an impact.

No fluff, no BS—just real talk about what it takes to win in this game. If you’re serious about real estate and want to know where the real opportunities are, don’t miss this one.
