Listen "Contractor's Best Kept REI Secret (it's not the hammers!)"
Episode Synopsis
What if your biggest real estate investing edge had nothing to do with tools, money, or even experience?
In this insightful episode of Built For This, we sit down with seasoned investor Aaron Cox, a Jacksonville-based real estate veteran with over 40 rentals and a construction background. You’ll be surprised to learn that his "unfair advantage" has nothing to do with swinging hammers—and everything to do with something far more human: relationships.
Aaron opens up about why people skills are more powerful than property skills, the unexpected downside of having a construction company, and why repeatable systems—not brute force—build wealth. From navigating rising interest rates to managing C-class properties in tough economic times, Aaron shares the mindset and tactics that have helped him weather multiple market cycles since 2001.
