=============================
David Twii has been in real estate for 13 years — starting as an agent at 20, closing a $5M luxury listing with nothing but flyers, and now developing projects in Canada, Atlanta, Portugal, and Ghana. In this episode he breaks down exactly how he got into real estate developing with little to no money, including the deal where $50K down turned into an $11.4M property.
You'll learn how to start flipping houses with $30K, how to make $150K–$200K per single-family build in Atlanta, the 15% land rule every developer should follow, how he made $600K on a church without building anything, and why real estate beats stocks for building wealth.
