What would you do if you lost everything? Your properties. Your credit. Even your primary home. In this episode we sit down with Kevin Bupp, founder of Sunrise Capital Investors and author of The Cash Flow Investor, to unpack his incredible story of resilience and reinvention. Kevin shares how he went from bartending and wholesaling single family homes to building a 400 million dollar commercial portfolio focused on mobile home parks and parking assets. We dive into how the 2008 crash wiped out his entire portfolio, how he rebuilt with no credit using creative financing and seller carrybacks, and why he now focuses on low leverage and long horizon deals built to last. Kevin also breaks down the structure behind one of his most profitable deals, how he buys in today’s market, and why commercial real estate offers scalability that single family simply cannot match. If you are navigating today’s uncertain economy, trying to scale sustainably, or just want a blueprint for bouncing back stronger, this episode is a masterclass in long term thinking, grit, and building a business that buys back your time. Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES💰 Real Estate Financing – Need a mortgage for your investment property?

What would it take for you to walk away from your W2 job? In this episode, we sit down with Chad Ackerman, a former HR professional who left his career behind after discovering the power of passive real estate investing. Chad breaks down exactly how he transitioned from corporate life to financial freedom in under four years by liquidating his 401(k), investing in 16 real estate syndications, and building one of the most respected investor communities in the country. We explore why he left a safe and stable career in his late 40s, how he vetted deals and operators, and what led to co-founding Left Field Investors (later acquired by BiggerPockets and rebranded as Passive Pockets). You’ll also hear hard-won lessons on risk, diversification, mindset, and why community is one of the greatest assets for real estate investors. Chad now helps busy professionals build confidence as limited partners, and in this conversation, he pulls back the curtain on the real math, mindset, and mechanics of passive investing. If you’re sitting on a retirement account and wondering how to make it work harder for you, this episode might change everything. Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES💰 Real Estate Financing – Need a mortgage for your investment property?

What happens after the financial freedom? In this episode, we sit down with Clark Lunt to talk about the part of the journey most people don’t prepare for: finding meaning once the money is no longer the motivator. Clark shares the truth about building a successful real estate business, navigating identity shifts post-exit, and how chasing purpose (not passive income) is what really keeps you going. From his early years flipping rentals to the real reason entrepreneurs feel lost after “making it,” this conversation is raw, honest, and full of perspective. We dive deep into why surrounding yourself with the right people matters more than the perfect business plan, how staying curious creates compound returns in life and business, and why health, relationships, and self-awareness are the real flex. Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES💰 Real Estate Financing – Need a mortgage for your investment property?
