The Crash, the Comeback, and the Mindset Shift: How to Re-Engineer Your Real Estate Potential 🚀
Can a catastrophic setback actually be your biggest advantage in real estate and entrepreneurship?
Ricardo Rosales dives deep with TJ Kozen, a long-time friend and fellow investor, who shares an incredible story of losing money in the 2008 crash, moving to Dallas, and enduring a catastrophic accident where doctors said he might not walk again. This isn't just about survival—it's about the mindset that turns a crisis into a ceiling-raising opportunity. If you're wondering "How do I push past my perceived limits in property investment?" or "What is the single most important focus for entrepreneurial growth?", this episode has your answers. 🎧
Mindset is NOT Gospel: Learn why listening to the "experts" is only the first step. TJ reveals the powerful truth about setting your own path and not letting outside voices—even doctors or market analysts—define your potential. Your ceiling should become your floor. 💡
The Power of Incremental Focus: Instead of overwhelming yourself with $10 Million goals, find the "relatively simple" first step (e.g., $0 to $100k) and compress the timeline through laser-like focus. This is the key to achieving the seemingly impossible. 🎯
The Healing Energy of Effort: TJ shares the physical and mental intensity required to literally learn to walk again, showing how a fierce, singular dedication to one goal can create a transformational heat (and even "healing energy"). Apply this unwavering work ethic to your business. 🔥

The 1% Rule is DEAD | The Real Estate Entrepreneurs Podcast w/ August Biniaz

How do you find a Value-Add Multifamily deal that still pencils out when the last one closed 28 months ago? 🗓️
Ricardo Rosales dives deep with August Biniaz on CPI Capital’s aggressive yet selective approach to acquiring 100+ door assets in the current tumultuous market. The debt cycle is wiping out operators who bought aggressively in 2021/2022—this is a masterclass on mitigating that risk and setting a strict buy box.
In this episode, we reveal: Florida vs. Texas: The Tax Trap: Why the 1% Rule in multifamily doesn't apply equally in Tampa vs. San Antonio, and how local property taxes (and coastal insurance) can wipe out your NOI. The 15% Minimum Rule: CPI capital’s strict underwriting process that requires a minimum 15% average annualized return—and how they walk away from 99% of deals that don't meet it. Life & Business from the Ring: The boxing analogy that defines August's approach to adversity and why accepting that you are responsible for your current position is the first step to scaling out of a crisis. Are you an accidental landlord or a scaling operator?

Fix-and-Flip is DEAD? Why New Construction CRUSHES Your Flipping Returns (and How to Fund It!)
Carlos Gonzalez transitioned from flipping over 100 houses a year to becoming a developer. He explains why new construction is typically more profitable and easier to manage than dealing with the "unknowns behind the walls" of an old rehab. Plus, he previews his upcoming REL Summit on how to leverage everything to scale your business.
The Land Due Diligence Trap: Don't buy a lot until you understand soil tests and buildability. Carlos shares the biggest mistake new investors make that leaves them stuck with unusable land.
The Price of Capital: Is a 10.5% interest rate too high? Carlos breaks down why hard money for a short-term flip is a minuscule factor that drastically increases your cash-on-cash return and allows you to scale faster.
The REL Summit Advantage: Learn how to fire the IRS (legally!), leverage your stock portfolio, and tap into other people's capital and resources at the Real Estate Leverage Summit in Tampa.
