🎙 From Credit Cards to 25 Rental Properties | Real Estate Hustle, Mindset & Scaling to $10M+ Revenue

In this episode of the C Pulse Podcast, we sit down with a real estate investor who’s closed 700+ deals since 2014 and built a thriving acquisitions company with $10M+ in revenue — all starting from a $90,000 credit card play.

This is the ultimate no-fluff conversation for anyone looking to break free from their 9-5, start wholesaling, or scale a real estate business from scratch.

💥 From burning the boats to joining the right masterminds, this story is full of insights for anyone serious about entrepreneurship, real estate investing, and personal growth.

✅ Here’s what we cover in this episode:

1️⃣ Why he walked away from a real estate agent career (even after 6 deals in year one)
2️⃣ How he used 0% interest credit cards to kickstart his wholesaling business
3️⃣ The power of burning the boats and committing fully to entrepreneurship
4️⃣ Why paying for the right mastermind or coaching group is a shortcut to success
5️⃣ How he generated $400K+ in his first year (and paid off the debt)
6️⃣ The reverse wholesaling strategy that helped him close more deals
7️⃣ The reality of building a business in a competitive market like Phoenix/Scottsdale
8️⃣ Why the true goal is freedom, not just money
9️⃣ How he scaled from wholesaling to owning 25+ cash-flowing rental properties
🔟 Why reducing debt = increasing income and long-term wealth
