Real estate isn’t supposed to be easy.

In this Crafting Goals Friday episode, we talk about what it really means to take your licks, get knocked down, and keep moving forward anyway. This isn’t a quitting story — it’s a failing forward conversation about resilience, discipline, and staying in the fight when the process gets painful.

We also jump into Ask the BRRRRothas, answering real questions from investors, including:

• How do you know if a real estate deal is actually good before you buy?

• How do you choose the right contractor and avoid costly red flags?

• Should you start investing locally or look out of state?

If you’re balancing a W-2 job, family life, and real estate investing and you’ve felt the pressure that comes with building something real — this episode is for you.

Take the hits. Learn the lessons. Keep moving forward.

We lost nearly $90,000 on a real estate rehab because we trusted the wrong contractor.

In this episode, we break down exactly how it happened, where we went wrong, and the lessons that cost us more than money. We talk through the warning signs we missed, the decisions we’d make differently today, and how that experience forced us to build better systems as investors.

This conversation is for anyone investing in real estate who’s afraid of getting burned — or already has been.

If you’ve ever wondered how experienced investors really learn, this is an honest look behind the scenes.
If you’re trying to avoid costly mistakes on your next deal, you’re not alone.

If finding real estate deals feels impossible, it’s probably not bad luck — it’s a lack of structure. If 2025 taught us anything, its that 2026 will require structure.

In this episode, we walk through how beginner BRRRR investors can actually find deals while working full-time jobs and raising families. We talk about buy boxes, where deals really come from, and how consistency beats chasing every opportunity.

This is a practical, conversational breakdown of what works — without hype, guru tactics, or overcomplication.

If you’re early in your investing journey and stuck at the “I can’t find anything” stage, this episode will help reset how you approach deal flow.
Clarity comes from reps, not perfection.
