Show Notes
In this episode, I sit down with real estate investor and entrepreneur Rob Chavez, CEO of Caza Group and founder of the GRID Investor Network. Rob's built a vertically integrated real estate business spanning sales, construction, private lending, investments, and property management—and he didn't do it by doing everything himself.
Rob walks us through his transition from solopreneur to CEO, the hard lessons he learned chasing too many rabbits at once, and how letting go of control ultimately 10x'd his income.
Whether you're just starting out or you're an experienced investor stuck on the transaction treadmill, this conversation is packed with actionable insight to help you scale, leverage, and build wealth for the long haul.
