    • The strategy behind scaling 18 million square feet of industrial development across multiple countries

    • How Luis navigated one of the largest real estate bankruptcies in U.S. history—and came out wiser

    • Why Seven Hills Properties was built to own and operate deals, not just chase capital

    • The Walgreens playbook: how they built and sold 30 drugstores to create long-term equity

  • The Lazy Investor Method: Build Passive Income & Financial Freedom with Real Estate, with Melissa Nash

    The Lazy Investor Method: Build Passive Income & Financial Freedom with Real Estate, with Melissa Nash
    2025/10/01

    In her 40s, Melissa lost her multi-million-dollar business and hit financial rock bottom. She took a corporate job she hated just to stay afloat, all while raising four kids and feeling stuck in a cycle of bills, burnout, and no clear way out. But Melissa rebuilt her wealth one property at a time and now manages a $5M+ real estate portfolio—all while living a life filled with purpose, time, and flexibility. More importantly, she’s helped 1,000+ investors do the same, with her community now owning over $600 million in real estate. She’s the perfect guest to talk about building a second act, making smarter money moves after 40, and how to invest in real estate without becoming a landlord.

    In our conversation, Melissa shares how she went from an “accidental” landlord to creating what she calls the Lazy Investor Method. She opens up about early mistakes—like assuming tenants would “magically appear”—and the lessons she learned about property management, problem-solving, and treating real estate like a business. She also explains why holding properties long-term often outpaces flipping and how the right team can make out-of-state investing both doable and profitable.

    What You’ll Learn in This Episode

    • How Melissa turned financial rock bottom into a $5M+ real estate portfolio

    • The “Lazy Investor Method” for creating passive income without being a landlord

    • How to build wealth after 40 through turnkey rentals and smart money moves

    • Why long-term rental investing can outperform flipping for financial freedom

    • Tips for choosing landlord-friendly states and high-cash-flow markets

    • The power of outsourcing property management to create true time wealth

Earlier in his career, he worked as a commercial lender at a regional bank in Cleveland (now PNC) and even operated certified Cessna Pilot Centers, training pilots for the Delta Connection program.

    2025/08/20
    Chris A. Williams is a 25-year-old real estate investor, entrepreneur, and the powerhouse behind The Assets Real Estate Team and 1st Class Real Estate Equity Group. He leads a top-ranked team representing buyers and sellers of distinguished properties throughout the Hampton Roads area.

Today, Chris specializes in creative financing, investor partnerships, and the Agent–Investor Flywheel model, a strategy that allows agents to stabilize deal flow, stack revenue opportunities, and thrive in any market. His mission is to train and empower other agents, regardless of their background, to dominate their market and become the greatest asset to their clients. What You Will Learn: Who is Chris A.

What pivotal moment shifted Chris from a traditional agent to an agent–investor model How does the Agent–Investor Flywheel help agents create predictable income despite market volatility? What is revenue stacking, and how can agents earn multiple commissions from a single flip? Why Chris believes a small, high-intent investor database beats a massive but unfocused one. How to track KPIs and run your business like a business—not a side hustle. Why hiring a transaction coordinator and admin staff early creates scale and leverage. How creative financing strategies like seller financing, VA assumptions, and multi-note structures open doors in today’s high-rate market. Chris’s social media strategy: why authenticity and consistency beat overproduced content. What separates entrepreneurship from employment—and why “scared money don’t make money.” How Chris leverages collaboration and networking for expansion opportunities in Hampton Roads and beyond. Chris’s story is proof that faith, persistence, and strategy can turn early struggles into market dominance.
