Real Estate Didn't Make Me Rich, THIS Did with Deborah Razo

In this episode of Masters of Real Estate, Matt Owens and Deborah Razo share some of their most valuable and hard-earned lessons from their careers moving from small flips to multi-million dollar multifamily and lending deals. From overcoming the fear of bigger numbers, to protecting yourself from contractor fraud, to building a network that's as emotionally supportive as it is resource-rich, Matt lays out what it really takes to scale in this business. What you'll learn in this episode: Why fear and lack of confidence keep investors stuck in small deals—and how to break through. The role of networking events in building not just skills, but the mindset and energy needed to succeed. Why flipping keeps the lights on, but long-term wealth comes from appreciation. How to structure your team so you're not doing it all yourself, and the real risks of relying on the wrong partners. The contractor theft story that changed Matt's entire verification process. Background checks, private investigators, and other must-have due diligence tools to protect your business. Why creating financial freedom is about more than money, it's about reclaiming your time for what matters most. Want more resources from Mathew?
