In this episode of The Kevin Choe Show, I sit down with Captain Kurt, a private pilot who literally flies billionaires like the Airbnb founders but that’s just his side hustle. He's actually a full time real estate developer!

Kurt breaks down how he:
- Brokers and charters private jets without owning a single one
- Turned aviation relationships into multi-million dollar jet deals
- Built a commercial real estate portfolio (flex space, hotels, Airbnbs)
- Uses tax strategy, arbitrage, and passive income to escape the grind

If you’ve ever wanted to make money in aviation, real estate, or just learn how to build real wealth by solving high-net-worth problems, this episode is for you

How To Buy An Airplane With No Money! | Ep. 38 of The Kevin Choe Show

In this episode, I sit down with Chris Fitch — former Marine Corps aviation mechanic turned commercial pilot and creative finance investor — to talk about how he’s buying airplanes with little to no money out of pocket.

We break down:

- How airplane investing mirrors real estate investing
- How creative financing (yes, even Subto!) works with aircraft
- Why planes are one of the most overlooked tax write-offs
- How much cash flow you can generate by leasing to flight schools
- Why buying 1-3 planes before the end of the year could wipe out your taxes

If you’ve ever wondered how to get into aviation as an investor — even if you don’t fly — this one’s for you.
