Ashton Levarek of Valkyrie Group went from 4 doors to more than 260, with 384 more under contract, in about 3 years. On this episode, host Abel Pacheco and Ashton talk about taking action before you feel ready and building a team of experts around you.
In this episode:
- His engine: "if I think it's a good idea, I'll jump in both feet, and figure out my parachute on the way down."
- The first deal, two duplexes for $209,000, made with no cash in hand, because "taking the action forces you to find the components."
- The lesson that scales: "You don't need to be an expert in it, and chances are you won't be. So align with other people who are experts in the field."
- Forced appreciation in real numbers: $209,000 plus $90,000 of work into a $480,000 appraisal.
- Abel's framing: leverage other people's time, knowledge, and experience, and "learn and earn at the same time," planning backward from the target.
Abel Pacheco is a San Antonio real estate operator who went from 8 single family houses to a share of roughly 1,500 apartment doors, and now works as a fractional Chief AI Officer helping small and mid sized businesses put the back office on autopilot.
