E232: From Dreamer to Millionaire: The Power of Leverage with Diego Corzo

If you’re still living off your W2 and wondering how you could get out of the rat race – the question is not “how,” but WHO? Today, let’s talk about leverage!

Diego Corzo is an investor, entrepreneur., and realtor based in Austin, Texas. Diego is the founder of the Rat Race to Financial Independence, where he helps people get out of the rat race to achieve financial independence through real estate.

Diego is a Dreamer, a DACA recipient, which basically means that he’s undocumented. But he has always believed that when one door closes, he’s got to pass through the window – and so he did. In 2014, Diego joined GoBundance, which gave him the opportunity that changed the trajectory of his life. At 31 years old, Diego now owns 46 rentals, has three syndications, and has tripled his net worth in just three years.
