Keith Blackborg, a CPA, tax strategist and founder of Financial Journey, joins Abel Pacheco to explain how to treat your wealth as a business and become work optional in 3 to 5 years. He walks through the discounted rollover, where a syndication investment moves from a traditional solo 401(k) to a Roth while its valuation is temporarily low, which he says can cut the tax on the conversion by 30% to 70% under the tax rules at the time. He also covers why a business that runs without you sells for a much higher multiple.

Ahmed Seirafi, a Southern California developer who builds ground-up multifamily, joins Abel Pacheco to share how his father's gas station, sold for about $900,000, became the down payment on a $5.4 million Phoenix apartment property that later sold for around $20 million. He walks through his first deal, redeveloping an old pickle factory site with the city, what changes when a project grows from $5 million to $150 million, and his plan to build 1,000 units of active 55 plus housing while express car washes fund the business.
