In this game-changing Dropping Bombs episode, second-generation developer Shannon Robnett reveals how ground-up development destroys traditional buy-and-hold syndication.

With $425 million in completed projects and $140 million under management, Shannon breaks down the brutal lessons from losing $5 million in '08, surviving addiction recovery, and rebuilding to consistent 25% investor returns through tax-advantaged multifamily and industrial deals.

Shannon breaks down the secrets separating legitimate operators from hype machines, the refinance strategy returning 60% of capital by year three, and why Dave Ramsey's debt philosophy leaves billions on the table—plus the exact questions to ask before investing a single dollar. If you're ready to escape landlord hell and let your money work while you sleep, this episode is your blueprint.
