Justin Foster: Bridging Worlds from Oil and Gas to Mastering the Real Estate Market

Welcome back to another episode of the Hybrid Real Estate Professional Podcast. Today, I have the pleasure of sitting down with my friend and mentor, Justin Foster. Having navigated the transition from a career in the oil and gas industry to becoming a full-time real estate investor at the age of 33, Justin's story is both inspiring and educational. He's not just a successful investor; he's a dedicated husband and father, placing his family at the heart of everything he does. Over the years, Justin has run a large-scale wholesaling operation in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and has now shifted his focus to mentoring the next generation of investors. I've learned so much from Justin in the short time we've known each other, and I'm excited for you to gain insights from his journey and strategies in real estate.
