What does it really take to become a wealthy real estate investor — not just on paper, but in real life?

In this episode, Brad sits down with Matt Sanchez, a humble Denver investor who has done over 1,000 deals, survived multiple market cycles, built long-term cash flow, developed properties, and quietly created the kind of freedom most people only dream about.

Matt breaks down the REAL difference between equity and cash flow, why cash flow is the king of financial freedom, how foreclosure auctions work behind the scenes, and what new investors must understand before they ever buy their first deal.

If you’re an aspiring real estate investor, a side hustler, or someone stuck in a 9–5 dreaming of freedom, this episode is gold.

Real talk. Real numbers. Real freedom.
