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.
