Summary

Ryan Tseko became a multifamily millionaire by his mid-thirties after giving up his previous career to invest. By the time Ryan was thirty, he already had twenty-one rental units, paid off over six figures in student debt, and used his pilot job to scope out new property markets. Everything was going to plan until a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity presented itself. Ryan left everything and made the jump. But how did Ryan end up in his multi-millionaire position? How did he go from house hacking “crash pads” for pilots to helping manage one of the largest real estate portfolios in the country? A better question—how did a commercial pilot become Grant Cardone’s right-hand man? Ryan’s story is unbelievable, but it’s true. In today’s episode, Ryan will share why he gave up his high-paid job to bust his butt working for Cardone Capital, why Grant Cardone told him to sell his ENTIRE real estate portfolio, and the two-minute deal analysis Ryan does that instantly tells him whether a property is worth pursuing. Ryan proves ANYONE can go from nothing to much more than something—and you can, too! In This Episode We Cover: Becoming a millionaire by your mid-thirties and turning active income into passive income House hacking, “crash pads,” and how to make money off of your first home Paying off six figures in student debt and why you MUST be frugal at the beginning of your investing career Millionaire tips from Grant Cardone and what to do when your property ISN’T profiting The two-minute deal analysis Ryan uses at Cardone Capital EVERY day And So Much More!
