Ep 237 - He Bought 39 Units...Then Faced a Breakdown
HE BUILT THE DREAM AND ALMOST LOST HIMSELF IN IT.
Emanuele Pani went from mopping floors and fixing leaks…to owning nearly every unit in his building.
But success wasn’t what he expected.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- How he bought 39 out of 40 units using seller financing & hustle
- What happened when COVID hit, no grace period, no backup plan
- The creative deals that made it all possible (and profitable)
- Why burnout and identity loss followed after the win
- How he rebuilt his purpose with long-term hospitality and legacy in mind
This isn’t a how-to. It’s a how-he-did-it.
From broke to burned out and back to intentional growth.
