Michael Flight, a seasoned real estate investor and developer, shares how he made, lost, and plans to make his next million. His story starts with a value-add shopping center project early in his career, a challenging deal with vacant anchor tenants and environmental issues. After several years of redevelopment and refinancing, the project paid off massively, marking his first million-dollar milestone.

Key Highlight Points: - First Million: Earned from a value-add shopping center redevelopment that overcame major hurdles (vacancies, environmental problems) and paid out big after refinancing. - Early Lessons: Started with small multifamily properties — his first rent check in cash ($900) made a lasting impression about cash flow and ownership. - Longevity: Over 35 years in real estate, building wealth through steady, value-add projects. - Last Million: Currently tied up in private tokenized investments, waiting for retail liquidity events. - Next Million: Betting on the tokenization and data revolution, especially through companies like Proximal, which allows AI analytics on encrypted corporate data without exposing proprietary information. - Vision: Sees data as the new oil — believes tokenization and secure data analytics will define the next generation of billion-dollar companies.
