Show Notes:

Don Costa is a real estate investor who focuses on flipping houses, and now wholesaling. He is known for consistently flipping over 100 houses a year, as well as hosting the podcast, FlipTalk. Don has gone through multiple market cycles, and has learned some of the biggest keys to success – and he learned them when he lost it all.

In this episode Don walks us through how his early life set him up to seek balance, and then later in life how drastically his perspective changed when he lost everything in the market downturn. He shares his story of digging his way out of a million dollar deficit, to running a business that brings in a million dollars a month.

Don is driven to succeed at what he does by his passion for his business, but also for his passion to build a great life for his children, and create generational wealth.
