From Union Carpenter to Multifamily Syndicator — The Danny Flores Blueprint

from The Side Hustle and Business Show with Eric Lindsey · host Eric Lindsey

He started as a union carpenter. Then made a decision most people never make — he went back to school at USC for corporate finance while working full time to pay for it.He graduated, retired from the union, became a banker, and never stopped building.Danny Flores | Prime Capital Investments | Multifamily Syndicator---From the Jobsite to the BoardroomDanny was a general contractor at 21, moved into heavy construction as a union carpenter, then earned a corporate finance degree from USC while working full time to pay for it. Every career move was intentional. Every skill he built was preparation for the next level.---His First Deal and 15 Years of 1031 ExchangesDanny saved $65,000 and bought a fourplex in California. A year and a half later he sold it for a $100,000 profit. He rolled that into a 1031 exchange and kept buying bigger buildings for the next 15 years using his own money.He also built a property management company in 2006 and sold it years later. By the time he discovered syndication in 2018 he already had the construction, finance, and operations skills most syndicators spend years trying to develop.---How He Transitioned From W2 to Full Time Real EstateDanny's rule was simple — you have to work two jobs before you can quit one.Evenings. Weekends. Stolen phone calls during the day. If you are married, cut expenses and learn to live on one income. Cut car payments, eating out, everything. Run lean until the business is big enough to jump to full time.It gets hard before it gets easier. But if you plan it right the jump is possible.---Why He Started Syndicating in 2018A friend introduced Danny to syndication after watching him buy deals solo for years. He hired a coach, learned the model, and applied everything he already had — construction skills, banking knowledge, property management experience — to raise capital and start buying bigger deals for investors.---Listen to the full episode of the Moonlight Real Estate Side Hustles and Syndication Show with Eric Lindsey.👉 Mastermind Group: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/share/g/187opx1PyD/⁠👉 YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@Realestatesidehustleoperations⁠Free e-book: ⁠https://moonlightcre.com/ebook_download/⁠Website: ⁠https://moonlightcre.com/⁠Schedule a call: ⁠https://calendly.com/moonlightequitiesgroup/scheduled-conversation⁠Learn more: ⁠https://linktr.ee/ericlindsey⁠Financial security over job security — always.#RealEstateSideHustle #MoonlightRealEstate #PassiveIncome #PassiveInvesting #RealEstateSyndication #SideHustle #W2Investor #RealEstateInvesting #FinancialSecurity #WealthBuilding #RealEstatePodcast #ApartmentSyndication #RealEstateInvestor #FinancialFreedom #BuildingWealthOnTheSide
