Paul shares how he and his wife successfully invested in U.S. real estate despite being told it was "impossible," why business ownership feels like the next natural step, and the unique challenges of navigating licensing, brokers, and cross-border deals.

    From private investigation firms to roofing businesses, Paul unpacks his search process, the importance of seller trust, and why respect for people's time and relationships matters as much as the numbers.

    2025/10/28
    Michael Castaño is an entrepreneur and acquisition-minded business owner whose journey began with building an acoustic company from the ground up. Through that venture, he learned the realities of managing customers, navigating operations, and wearing every hat that a small business demands. When he later turned toward acquisitions, Michael brought those lessons with him — and discovered that persistence, credibility, and seller trust mattered as much as the numbers on paper. Along the way, he leaned heavily on mentorship and the broader acquisition community, finding that shared experiences, open conversations, and collaboration accelerated his growth far more than going it alone. Today, Michael continues to build on his foundation as both an operator and a student of the community, seeking opportunities that align with his skills and long-term vision for sustainable ownership. Tim is an entrepreneur who believes everyone should explore the opportunities that business and real estate can provide on the path to financial freedom.

[15:11 – 32:20] First Acquisitions & Seller Financing How Michael structured his earliest business buys. Why seller financing became a key tool. Navigating fear and uncertainty in his first transactions. [32:21 – 50:00] Building Credibility & Community The role of mentors and masterminds in accelerating his learning. What worked (and didn't) when presenting himself to sellers. Developing a repeatable process instead of chasing shiny objects. [50:01 – 1:08:30] Scaling Ambitions & Real Challenges Why some deals fell through — and the lessons from near misses. What he's learned about risk tolerance and pacing himself. Managing family, finances, and business at the same time. [1:08:31 – End (~1:23:00)] Looking Forward What Michael is seeking in future acquisitions. His advice for first-time buyers who feel overwhelmed. Why he believes persistence and relationships matter more than quick wins.
