About this listen
In this episode of Built for Wealth, I sit down with Igor Shiper—an immigrant entrepreneur who went from flipping his first property solo to building 150+ rental units, 310 self-storage doors, and a booming construction company. We cover everything from the lessons of growing up as a Ukrainian refugee, to scaling with integrity, to navigating development disasters like a septic permit gone wrong.
👉 Learn how Igor went from $15K on his first flip to managing 100+ builds a year.
👉 Hear how he leverages duplexes, team-building, and in-house systems to maximize long-term wealth.
👉 Plus, we dig into faith, family, and how to avoid raising entitled kids while building a legacy.
📍 Topics Covered:
- Building a team that scales
- Why duplexes are the ultimate real estate hack
- Navigating bad deals (including a septic nightmare)
- Investing through cycles—from 2006 to now
- Balancing wealth-building with family values and faith
