About this listen
This show originally aired in the summer of 2025.
How do you rebuild after a real estate investing setback — and turn it into long-term rental success? In this episode of The Real Wealth Show, Kathy Fettke sits down with RealWealth member Sam Jo to share a powerful comeback story every investor can learn from.
After losing money on a house flip during the 2007 housing downturn, Sam walked away from real estate for years. Nearly a decade later — and following a pandemic-related business closure — he returned with a smarter strategy focused on cash-flowing rental properties.
Sam explains how he built a rental portfolio in Cleveland, why affordable Midwest markets stood out, and how partnering with RealWealth helped him avoid costly mistakes and accelerate his growth.
If you're interested in building a rental property portfolio, learning from past failures, and investing with a long-term mindset, this episode offers practical insight and real-world inspiration.
