What happens when you stop selling investment properties—and start living in one?

In this episode of the Investor Agent Synergy Podcast, hosts Jeremy and Shelly Beland sit down with Corey Caza, a real estate agent with Real Broker and a first-time investor who didn’t just buy a duplex—he moved into it. Based in Manchester, New Hampshire, Corey shares how living in his own investment property has transformed the way he shows up for clients and deepened his understanding of what it means to build wealth through real estate.

From learning the realities of property maintenance and tenant management to navigating emotions around money, Corey gives us an unfiltered look into what it's like to walk the walk, not just talk the talk.

If you’re an agent thinking about investing, or an investor who wants to better understand the agent mindset, this episode offers a candid, real-world perspective on the agent-investor journey.
