In this episode, we sit down with returning guest and seasoned investor Joel Miller, who brings nearly five decades of real estate experience to the table. From rental properties and house flipping to hard money lending, Joel shares the practical strategies that have helped him build lasting wealth, and how others can do the same.

We dive into the importance of building the right team, knowing when to step back from hands-on work, and avoiding common pitfalls with leverage and financing. Joel also gives an inside look at mentoring the next generation, as his college-aged son begins building his own real estate portfolio.

Whether you’re just getting started or looking to level up your investing game, this episode is packed with actionable insights, real world lessons, and timeless advice, including one powerful rule: don’t take advice from anyone you wouldn’t trade places with.
