Have you ever wondered what it would take to go from homelessness to becoming a successful real estate investor? It’s nothing more than the drive to become financially independent and the willingness to apply the strategies you learned.
In today’s episode, Greg Gaudet has a great story to tell about how he went from being a homeless heroin addict to a financially free rental investor. Greg’s father was a real estate developer and worked for a big corporate carnival hotels and casinos company. He lived a picture-perfect childhood, but his life slowly spiraled down when his dad passed away from pancreatic cancer. Greg was only 14 and had trouble dealing with the loss. He’s gone through the worst: getting in trouble, doing bad things, drinking, experimenting with drugs, and almost ending his life.
Fast forward…Greg found his way back to life and made it his mission to take action and turn his life around. That’s also where getting into real estate helped him make a breakthrough and transform his life big time!
Indeed, there is nothing we love more than rags-to-riches stories, and Greg’s struggle from being homeless to real estate investing and now enjoying his dream life in Maui is really inspiring and relatable. Join the conversation as Greg shares his journey and his secrets to getting his life back, and what part real estate has to play in his big comeback.
