How I Recovered from a $500K Real Estate Loss (And Made It Profitable)

After 20+ years in real estate, I’ve learned one hard truth: bad deals happen. In this video, I’m pulling back the curtain on what I call The Great Pivot — how I took loss after loss… and turned them into powerful wins.
I lost $500,000 fire-selling flips in 2022. But instead of walking away, I pivoted. I’ll show you how I transformed sitting flips, underperforming long-term rentals, short-term listings, vacant land, and even dead office buildings into profitable co-living opportunities.

This isn’t theory — it’s what I’m doing right now to keep my business thriving and my cash flow strong. If you’ve been burned by bad timing, bad partners, or bad strategies, this is your roadmap to recover and rebuild. Let's make your next move your best one yet.
