158: Real Estate Investing to Create a Life of Freedom with Tony Lopes

  • Resumen

  • Crafting a lifestyle of freedom in your 40s may sound like an impossibly far-fetched goal, but today’s guest is living out that goal and teaching others to do the same. On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan welcomes guest Tony Lopes, CEO of Dirty Boots Capital, author of “Freedom at Risk,” and real estate investor, consultant, professional, and macroeconomic enthusiast. Tony’s father worked full-time in construction while managing real estate investments on the side. Tony’s mother would remind him to remove his dirty boots, which is where the name of Tony’s company originates. Tony has a mechanical engineering degree as well as an MBA. Jonathan and Tony start their conversation by exploring how a layoff led Tony to real estate investing. He emphasizes the enormous amount of free information available to new investors, how Tony learned using the trial-and-error method, and the two areas of real estate where investors get stuck. You’ll hear from Tony how to overcome the psychological hurdles of investing, what it means to position yourself on the edge of the coin, and Tony’s advice for using current market conditions to educate yourself before jumping in. Tony shares how networking and creating relationships now can benefit you later, why you need to know your value and skill set you can bring to the table, and Tony’s trajectory from a fourplex to where he is today. As Jonathan and Tony approach the end of their discussion, they explore why Tony wrote his book, “Freedom at Risk,” his decision to invest in landlord-friendly states, evaluating a property’s distress level, and what you can learn from investing in a property despite higher interest rates. Tony Lopes’s retirement at 44 is inspiring, and you’ll hear why he started a second career focused on helping others do real estate right.
