In this episode of the Wealthy Way podcast, I sit down with Cory Boatright, a seasoned real estate investor and entrepreneur, to dig into the latest market trends and how things have changed since our last conversation. We dive into the strategies Cory’s using to adapt to the current market and how he’s been navigating these shifting conditions. Cory also breaks down some powerful concepts like net listings and novation, explaining their benefits and how they can transform the way you do business in real estate. We also discuss the reasons behind his recent business pivot and what it takes to expand a real estate business nationally. Cory shares insights on the importance of marketing, personal discipline, and mindful consumption, all while reflecting on his journey from selling Ginsu knives and TVs to dominating the real estate game. Cory doesn’t shy away from the tough topics either—he opens up about handling failure, the costs of fame, and the value of strong business partnerships. We also touch on his entrepreneurial journey, how he founded Take Down Funding, and the vision he has for the future. This episode is packed with wisdom for anyone in real estate or business, whether you're just starting out or already well-established. Tune in for strategies, stories, and some serious life lessons that will help you navigate both business and personal life with more discipline, conviction, and purpose.
