  • 302 - Broke to Real Estate Millionaire...

    Aaron Amuchastegui excels at helping people buy real estate at a discount, and he’s turned that expertise into a thriving real estate business. Between his tools—like Lead Propeller, Prophawk, and Roddy’s Foreclosure Listing—and the more than 800 properties he owns across Texas, his businesses generate a quarter million dollars in revenue every month. Learn how he started and grew his real estate investing business in this interview. Aaron started his first real estate business in 2009, just after the housing crash forced the California company where he’d worked as a realtor to downsize. He drew on his real estate expertise to invest in foreclosed properties, building a hedge fund from scratch and flipping over 1,000 homes in 3 years. That success was short lived, however. Competition from large investment firms forced his business to close and led to Aaron shifting his focus to properties in Texas. The lessons he learned growing that first real estate business proved beneficial when he started investing again in 2015. In this episode, he’ll share what he did differently the second time around, as well as his advice for other new investors to avoid making the same missteps. Today, Aaron’s business goes beyond simply investing. He’s expanded into the technology side of real estate investment, starting with his purchase of Roddy’s Foreclosure Listing in 2017. We’ll learn why he decided to broaden his focus to include investor tools and how he’s achieved consistent year-over-year growth with the listing service since he acquired it.
