Market conditions got you stuck? Your go-to strategy stopped working? Need more income?

It’s usually not the market. It’s the plan. Money is made on the plan and how you adapt it as you scale your businesses.

Over the past 20 years we’ve grown 8 real estate businesses that let us weather any storm in the market. I’ve learned how to scale the right way and the wrong way.

Be in Phoenix, AZ, December 5th-7th.

@biggerpockets is hosting its first-ever “How to Scale” Bootcamp for investors who want to grow their portfolios and their real estate business. @thedatadeli r, @devonkennard and @kathyfettke will teach how they scaled, and I’m covering how we did it and kept growing in any market.

Action is what scales you. Get off the bench and get your reps in.

BPCON 2026 was a whole different level. 🔥

A few days in a room full of people who get it. Investors, operators, builders, and dreamers all chasing the same thing: freedom through real estate.

I got to learn from the people I’ve been listening to for years, swap stories with new friends, and leave with a notebook full of ideas and a phone full of memories. 📸

Biggest takeaway? Your network really is your net worth. The conversations in the hallways hit just as hard as the ones on stage.

Thank you @biggerpockets for building a community like this. Already counting down to next year. 🙌

Were you there? Drop a 🏡 and let’s connect!

Left this meetup with a new book and a full notebook. Learning in person beats learning alone.

12 years ago, I discovered BiggerPockets. I had no idea how much that discovery would shape my real estate journey.

Back then, I was a banker with an interest in investing, but I didn’t have the money or the knowledge to get started.

I remember listening to Brandon Turner share his story and thinking, “That’s me. I can relate to this.”

I went back, listened again, took notes, and started putting what I learned into practice.

Over the years, BiggerPockets became my real estate university. I’ve learned, made mistakes, refined my strategies, and continued building my rental portfolio.

And this year, I attended my very first BPCON. 🥹

Getting to meet and learn from people whose stories, books, and philosophies have influenced my journey was such a full-circle moment.

To Brandon Turner, the BiggerPockets team, and all the investors who generously share their experiences: thank you. You may never know how many lives you’ve impacted.

And to anyone who’s still learning and wondering whether they can do this: keep learning, but don’t forget to take action.

Sometimes one story is all it takes to change what’s possible for you. ❤️

Your portfolio grows when you do.

@biggerpockets BPCON2026 was next level—not just for the real estate education, but for the people and conversations.

Hopped on the Real Estate Rookie podcast with two of my favorite people, hung out with my On the Market cohosts, and caught up with fellow Zombie Flipper Tommy. Got to teach value-add construction and share the stage with one of my favorite flippers, Dom, for a fix-and-flip session.

But the best part? The conversations between sessions. Talking through deals, mistakes, and goals with new and experienced investors. You don’t outgrow being a student in this business.

I spent more time connecting than taking photos, and I wouldn’t change that. Whether you’re buying your first fixer or taking on your biggest project yet, being around people who challenge you makes a difference.

That’s what BPCON is about. Not showing off what you’ve done, but getting better at what you do next.

Huge shoutout to the BiggerPockets team and @alexandra.pailet for killing it again!

This is my favorite part of BPCON.⁣
⁣
There’s nothing like being in a room full of people who just get it. 🤝⁣
⁣
The big goals. The “wait, you’re doing what?!” conversations. The deals, the wins, the lessons, and the late-night dinners that run way too long. 🍽️✨⁣

Here’s what that means to me: build a portfolio that fits your life. Not one that eats it. 🧡⁣
⁣
In self-storage, it looks like this: 👇⁣
⁣
1️⃣ Know your buy box. 🎯 Market. Size. Price. Upside. If a deal doesn’t fit, it’s a fast no. 🚫⁣
2️⃣ Buy fewer, better assets. 🏆 One great facility beats three headaches. 🤯⁣
3️⃣ Measure freedom, not door count. 🕊️ More time, more choices, more yes to the things that matter. 👨‍👩‍👧⁣
⁣
You don’t need the biggest portfolio. You need the right one. ✅⁣
⁣
Buy fewer great assets. Build deeper relationships. Stay in the game longer. 🤝⁣
