In this episode of the Real Estate Investing School podcast, host Joe Jensen interviews Ray Glymph, a real estate investor and business coach who overcame homelessness to own over 100 properties. Ray discusses how his tough beginnings fueled his ambition, ultimately leading him to win awards like “Best New Business of the Year” and the NAACP Champion of Change. His inspiring journey is packed with lessons on building real estate success through resilience and self-motivation.

Ray dives into his unique investing approach, from house hacking to managing multi-unit complexes on the East Coast. Initially self-managing his properties to maximize profit, Ray eventually took on partners and used other people’s money (OPM) to scale efficiently. He shares the value of hands-on management, relationship-building, and a deep understanding of the market.

Throughout the episode, Ray emphasizes his core values of health, wealth, and freedom, and how they guide his investment philosophy. He provides insights on creative financing, scaling, and balancing life and work. This conversation is a motivating listen for investors at all levels, showing how real estate can unlock financial freedom through strategic, disciplined growth.
