What does it really take to build a fix-and-flip empire from the ground up?Today on the show, I’ve got the pleasure of chatting with Joe Arias, a distinguished real estate investor, entrepreneur, author, mentor, and public speaker who’s made a name for himself flipping houses, wholesaling properties, building rental portfolios, and diving into multifamily. Joe is the founder and CEO of RealSuccess, and what’s most incredible is how he went from arriving in the U.S. as a broke 19-year-old immigrant with zero financial background… to building a thriving real estate empire and training thousands of aspiring investors along the way.In this episode, Joe shares his journey, from his unlikely start as a child actor in Argentina to becoming a wedding photographer in LA, and how hitting a wall financially led him to discover the life-changing power of real estate. We explore how he systemized his fix-and-flip business, scaled multiple departments, and created tools and education that help others invest without burning out.Joe also opens up about the role of faith, storytelling, and fulfillment in his business, and why building community is the secret weapon behind long-term success in real estate.If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to truly scale, not just flip a house or two, but build a scalable business, this episode is for you.Let’s jump right in.Key Takeaways: 00:00 Intro 01:55 How Joe made his first dollar as a kid04:16 Chasing the Hollywood dream 05:48 How Joe got into flipping houses09:58 Joe’s real estate investing community15:30 The overarching goal 22:07 Adjusting to market conditions 24:41 Top 3 investing tips 30:41 Reflections and outroAdditional resources: ➡️ Learn more about Joe:• Website: https://ourrealsuccess.com/ • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joeariasinvestor/?hl=en ➡️ Visit https://reedgoossens.com/ and:• Invest passively in multifamily real estate • Get FREE access to my 100% Passive Real Estate Investment Masterclass• Take a look at my portfolio• Get FREE multifamily real estate resources ➡️ Follow me on social media:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/reed-goossens-b2a6a933/ • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reedgoossens/ • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/reed.goossens/ ➡️ Subscribe to my podcast: • YouTube: @ReedGoossensREI • Apple: https://apple.co/44MiDN7 • Spotify: https://spoti.fi/45fVIcR • Stitcher: https://bit.ly/3OHHJqJ • Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/investing-in-the-us —Investing in the U.S. is a podcast for real estate investors and entrepreneurs who want to break into the U.S. market and grow their wealth!Follow so you never miss an episode!
