  • From $180K in Debt to Building a $50M Real Estate Empire
    Aug 27 2025

    💰 690 rental units, 60 active flips and a real estate portfolio worth $50M — that’s where Jon Rickey stands today. But it didn’t start there.

    His story isn’t about luck it’s about grit, sacrifice, and playing the long game. 📈 He grew up riding in his dad’s truck, learning how to turn ranches and land into opportunity. By 20, he closed his first deal flipping timber and a property for a quick profit.

    $180K in debt, a foreclosure, no health insurance, and 36 court appearances later, most people would’ve quit. Jon didn’t. He hustled, cut firewood, and fought to survive — but never lost his vision.

    By 2012, he was back in real estate. Sleeping on his office couch, painting houses himself and stacking flips until the debt was gone. By 35, he owned 100 rental units. By 40, over 600. Today, he manages 690 units worth $50M — proving his philosophy true: “Get rich slow, get rich for sure.” 🔑
