🎥 DESCRIPTION
On this episode, I join Tanner Litchfield to share my journey from small beginnings into scaling a multimillion-dollar real estate portfolio. I talk about the early struggles, the strategies that worked, and the mindset shifts that helped me move from single-family deals into large multifamily and beyond. We dive into raising capital, building teams, and the lessons I’ve learned about scaling without losing sight of what really matters in life.
Specifically, we talk about:
• how I went from single-family to multifamily
• why raising capital changed everything
• the mistakes I made while scaling fast
• how to build a team and freedom at the same time
• and so much more!

| 0:00.0 | Thanks, Brandon here. Welcome to this week's episode on The Better Life Podcast. Now, if you're new here, you should know that this episode is a little bit different than most of the ones that we put out, but it's going to be super valuable. In fact, I think you're actually going to love it. And if you've been here a while, or like you're an avid listener, you know that sometimes I like to put out these episodes where actually I am the guest on somebody else's show. |
| 0:21.7 | And that is exactly what today's episode is. |
| 0:24.3 | So today you're going to hear from me from an interview I did with my friend Tanner on the winning balance podcast. |
| 0:31.2 | As soon that we wanted to share this one with all of you all because, well, it's a lot more about like like, my personal journey to where I am today. |
| 0:37.8 | So I know that sometimes newer investors can really, they can hear how I own, you know, whatever, 14,000 rental units in it filled, like, way too distant or unrelatable. So, you know, I want to share with you guys a little bit of more, more about the journey and like, kind of the raw, unfiltered way that I got from zero to where I am today. That plus we talk a lot about not just how to build a |
| 0:54.9 | better portfolio, but also how to build a better life, kind of the system, the mindsets, and |
| 0:59.0 | approaches that I do outside of work. So listen and enjoy. And you find this episode of valuable. |
| 1:03.9 | Be sure to share it with a friend and come back for more next week. Now, without further ado, |
| 1:09.5 | let's get into it. Welcome to the Winning Balance podcast. We are met with a guest that I did not anticipate |
| 1:16.3 | getting this early on in this journey. So I'm super pumped about this one. Brandon Turner is our |
| 1:23.4 | guest today. Oh my gosh, you got Brandon Turner? |
| 1:25.9 | Brandon Turner. The Brandon Turner. So this is a fun story, Brandon. I talk about this in a sense |
| 1:34.0 | that you were the first real estate voice in my head. I'm sorry. Yeah, it's funny because, |
| 1:40.8 | I mean, seeing where you've come from now and that sort of start of your journey, |
| 1:47.8 | yeah, my first step was rich dad, poor dad, which I know you talk about a lot. |
| 1:54.0 | And then the second step was bigger pockets. |
| 1:56.6 | I just was absorbing, absorbing, using their calculator to analyze hundreds and hundreds of deals until I found the one. |
| 2:07.2 | So that is my introduction to Brandon. |
| 2:10.4 | And then we actually met at InvestorCon in Utah. |
| 2:13.9 | Yep. |
| 2:14.4 | What was that? |
