🎧 I Was Doing It All Wrong When I Started in Real Estate

Real Estate Investing Morning Show – Hosted by Wayne & Gabby Hillier

When I first got started in real estate investing, I thought I was doing everything right.

I worked overtime.
I saved aggressively.
I said yes to every extra shift.
I tried to do it all myself.

And for a while… it worked.

But I was moving slowly. I was stressed. And I was building the wrong way.

In today's episode, I break down exactly what I did when I started, where I went wrong, and the mindset shift that completely changed the trajectory of our portfolio.

🧠 What You'll Learn in This Episode

• What I focused on when we bought our first rental

• Why saving alone is not a scalable strategy

• The mistake I made trying to do everything myself

• When I realized joint ventures were inevitable

• How seller financing changed everything

• Why people didn't trust us at first

• The real key to building trust and credibility

• The mindset shift that eliminated fear of judgment
