Real Estate Investing for Cash Flow with Kevin Bupp The Painful Failure That Pushed Me to Pivot (and Made Me Millions) w/Joe Downs
The fear of failure stops many from ever getting into real estate. But what if it's the failures that actually make you wealthy? Today's guest woke up in his 30s, broke and burned out, having traded years of his life for a business that went belly up. What looked like a failure to everyone else was the start of a multimillion-dollar business empire for Joe Downs.
Joe has invested in it all—rental properties, flips, self-storage, mortgage notes, industrial warehouses, and more—but his newest obsession is one much of the market knows nothing about: pro storage. This new wave of self-storage has high demand, greater revenue, and a growing need in an increasingly entrepreneurial economy.
Joe breaks down why he's so excited about this new type of storage and shares the returns he's making from running an incredibly lucrative "distressed debt" company. Plus, why investors are overlooking the wide open opportunity in small "mom and pop" real estate investments and how to "reinvent" yourself after failure puts you back at the starting line.
