🎙️ Welcome to the Deal Junkies Podcast – the ultimate resource for real estate investors. Hosted by four experienced investors who’ve closed over $500 million in transactions, this podcast is packed with strategies and stories to help listeners build wealth and scale their portfolios. In this episode, we sit down with Sang Vu—real estate investor, broker, and longtime friend of Mike—who went from moving to the U.S. from Vietnam with nothing… to building a $69 million portfolio. But it wasn’t all smooth sailing. Sang shares how he built it up, lost it all, and then clawed his way back. Half of his current portfolio is solo-owned, the other half is with partners, and every unit comes with a story. This episode is full of lessons on resilience, risk, and what it really takes to bounce back in real estate after getting knocked down.
