Summary
When Nicolas Beaujean got started investing in RE, he voraciously listened to every RE podcast he could. Soaking up Biggerpockets episodes and listening to Robert Kiyosaki filled his head with dreams of what was possible. Several years of hard knocks later and Nicolas realized RE didn’t work the way he thought it would. On today’s show, Nicolas shares how he finally got into RE, stories of the numerous people who ripped him off, and how he finally built an impressive portfolio. Nicolas talks about his first deal and how everyone ripped him off including the architect, engineer, surveyor, attorneys, and even the seller. Nicolas turned his initial setbacks into a career full of buying challenging lots and developing them. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll learn, all on todays episode of The David Greene Show. mistakes he made while building a team, and why he believes it was 100% a net positive to start (even when making mistakes) and learn rather than trying to be perfect.
