#960 Why Discipline Beats Deals: Lee Yod...

Kevin Bupp
About this episode

Physical therapist turned investor Lee Yoder breaks down how he left a stable W-2, lived below his means, and scaled from a duplex to 800+ units in six years. We cover flipping vs. cash-flow rentals, the JV to syndication leap, deal discipline, and why he brought property management in house to operate better and grow faster. A clear roadmap for anyone eyeing the jump from career to full time real estate.

Highlights: 

4:35 — Golden Handcuffs

7:40 — 30% Pay Cut

13:30 — First 34 Units

16:05 — All-In Runway

30:05 — Vertical Integration

Quote: "You can buy any property you want if you pay the highest price. The discipline is stopping where your numbers say stop."
