Until it stopped working.
In this episode, Mike shares how market changes, junk land, seller financing risk, and ego led to the collapse of his real estate strategy, taking him from millionaire status to deep debt.

If you’re building a real estate portfolio or relying on cash flow from land, this episode could save you years of headaches.
