Ep 39. This Investor is taking on Birmingham’s Housing Crisis—and Winning with Matt Burnett

In this episode of From Corporate to Cashflow, we sit down with Matt Burnett, a former IT professional who walked away from the W2 world to build a real estate portfolio with a much bigger mission: providing affordable housing for 50,000 people in Birmingham, Alabama. In just one year, Matt went from zero properties to 32, proving that impact and scale don’t have to be mutually exclusive. He works closely with Section 8 and HUD housing authorities to create high-quality, well-maintained homes for individuals and families who might not otherwise have access to them. As his portfolio has grown rapidly, Matt shares how he’s shifting from hustle to systems, scalability, and mission-driven partnerships—so the business can grow without sacrificing purpose. If you’re a high-income W2 professional curious about using real estate to build cash flow and make a real difference, this episode is a must-watch.   Connect with Matt: IG: @mattbuysbham   Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theandreacannon   Subscribe to my YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TheAndreaCannon
