Aaron Amuchastegui is a real estate investor, fund manager and software CEO who has bought and sold more than 1,000 foreclosed homes and owns 850 single-family rental properties.

Aaron made his way into the real estate market in 2005. As he watched the Great Recession gut the industry from 2008-2009, Aaron discovered an opportunity to purchase and flip foreclosed homes, pioneering a business venture that quickly led to delivering millions of dollars for investors.

Today, Aaron sits down with me to discuss the ins and outs of his decades-long real estate success story, including nitty-gritty details on the art of buying and flipping foreclosures, how new investors can enter the market, and how he bounced back from going to zero — twice.

You’ll also hear how Aaron went toe-to-toe with investment management behemoth Blackstone, how he successfully added a software venture to his revenue mix, and which asset class investors with cash on the sidelines should be eyeing right now.
