From Chemical Engineer To Full Time Real Estate Investor With Matthew Pezon

Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of Flipping Out. This is Paul Lizell, your host here, and with me today is Matthew Pezon. And Matthew and I are both in the investor field real estate mastermind. Really good mastermind. He just joined recently this year. And Matthew's got a great interesting background here. He's gone from a chemical engineer to a full-time real estate investor this year.We're gonna dive into that. So I'm gonna throw it to you right now and, get into your background. One year, chemical engineering, right? Yep. And then what led you to real estate and why did you want to go full-time? I know that's all I can chew on, but say this stuff for that. Well, we'll start talking in between.Yeah, sure. We can unpack. So actually, I stumbled across real estate investing in a totally roundabout way. It was actually my love of Spanish and traveling which may resonate with some of, your listeners. So during college, I went to Lafayette College in Eastern Pennsylvania. And, I studied internationally in Spain for six months and, I got to travel and then I actually went back to pursue a master's degree. I did a Fulbright scholarship and I did basically an MBA, the European version of that. And, I wanted to go back to school because I didn't before. I went back to do my MBA. I was working for a large chemical company. I didn't have the financial wherewithal, but I knew I wanted to travel and I knew I wanted to go back to business school. And so I went to IE. Business school in Madrid. And during the coursework there, when, I had no intention of getting into real estate, I had no intention of even learning about it, but it's an entrepreneurship-based program. It's they did a module on, finance and they touched for a quick moment on real estate finance. And, it opened my eyes to the real estate investing world. I knew once I got back to the United States that I would that I wanted to pursue real estate entrepreneurship and real estate investments. And so I actually got into real estate outside of the country. I didn't know it at the time, but, I wanted to learn during my, MBA in Madrid that real estate was what I wanted to do. I didn't wanna do stocks, I didn't wanna do bonds. I didn't eventually, I wanted to not be working for a big company. I wanted to be an entrepreneur. And so that's, that's really how I got into real estate investing was, outside of the country in another place.Website: www.pezonproperties.comYoutube: www.youtube.com/@pezonpropertiesInstagram: https://instagram.com/pezonproperties/Twitter: https://twitter.com/PezonPropertiesYelp: https://www.yelp.com/biz/pezon-properties-eastonLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pezon-properties-744878254/vLove the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share!Here’s How »Join Flipping Out community today:thevirtualinvestor.coFacebookLinkedIn
