My Worst Investment… Until It Made Me a Millionaire

 Everyone talks about finding the perfect real estate deal… but my journey started with what most investors would call a bad decision.

In this video, I break down how I gave someone a personal hard money loan at 8.5% interest — and how I used just $74,000 to buy a tiny condo. At the time, they didn’t seem like smart investments. But here’s the twist:

Those early, simple moves helped me get my feet wet — and they ultimately launched me into owning over 130 residential units, multiple commercial properties, self-storage units, and more.

This video isn’t just about ROI — it’s about momentum, taking action, and learning how even “mediocre” deals can change your life if you play the long game.
