Ep. 34: How a College Sophomore Started Investing in Real Estate Through House Hacking with Alex Murillo

In this episode of From Corporate to Cashflow, hosts Andrea Cannon and Liz Schwab sit down with Alex Murillo to unpack how he started investing in real estate as a college sophomore, without mentors, family connections, or prior experience. With no one in his circle investing in real estate, Alex decided to figure it out on his own. He and his wife qualified for their first property using her nursing income and jumped in through house hacking, filling their home with friends and family to offset the mortgage and build momentum fast. Since then, Alex has focused exclusively on Southern Utah, building experience across house hacking, fix-and-flips, co-living, and creative financing. Now, he’s setting his sights on larger asset classes, actively pursuing a mobile home park or RV park as his next move. Alex’s journey proves that you don’t need to wait, be “ready,” or have the perfect setup to start investing in real estate. If you’re early in your career (or just wondering how to take your first step) this episode is packed with inspiration and practical insight you won’t want to miss.
