#80 - Growing Your Real Estate Investing Business by Adding Value to Others - Steve Budzik

Aug 25, 2021

Our guest is a medic who realized early on that he wanted more in terms of personal growth and income. So he switched careers, put in the work, learned as he went, and found success in real estate.

Joining me on the show is Steve Budzik. He’s a long-time friend of mine who started out as an investor. He used to do flips and invest in rentals. Now, he has his own brokerage called iCandy Realty, and he works with other investors.

In this episode, Steve looks back on what drew him to real estate investing, sharing what he has learned from investing in his education and doing transactions through other people. He weighs in on rentals and introduces his Fix 'n' List program, offering advice for both real estate agents and investors.

If you’re still undecided on which way you should go in real estate, this episode may interest you!
