Episode 162 - Pivoting from the American Dream to be Financially Free Before 30 With Diego Corzo

Some financial independence stories sound too good to be true, but most people don’t realize the amount of work that goes on behind the scenes. Today, we’re sitting down with Forbes-featured real estate investor, mentor, and entrepreneur Diego Corzo. His story is a testament to the power of self-actualizing one’s dreams through sheer perseverance and commitment to the long-term vision of financial freedom! 

Diego’s journey began when he moved from Lima, Peru, to the United States at 9 to pursue the American dream. After becoming disillusioned by corporate America, Diego leaped into real estate investing despite his limitations as an immigrant.  
 
In just three years, he sold over 200 units with The Nino Real Estate Group, catapulting him from struggling to take out loans to handling more than $50 million in sales volume. Today, Diego is committed to showing millennials that they can realistically achieve their financial goals, even starting from zero.  

Diego’s journey is a remarkable testament that challenging the American dream will pay off immensely. In his early 30s, Diego is now able to fly to Puerto Rico and enjoy his dream condo at least once a month, thanks to his ability to work from anywhere while still making passive income. 
 
So, if you're ready to make it in the real estate field and live your dreams of financial freedom, be sure to tune in and learn from someone who took the risk and made it big.
