What if your first real-estate gamble turned a $7,500 dirt lot into a springboard for 30+ revitalized Houston neighborhoods? 🇲🇽➡️🇺🇸Developer, investor, and author Jose Berlanga shares the unfiltered playbook behind three decades of inner-city turnarounds, bootstrap financing, and the moment he paused a multimillion-dollar business just to be “Dad.” Expect a masterclass on vision, risk, and legacy.👤 Guest BioJose Berlanga is a Mexican-born serial entrepreneur who has spent 35 years revitalizing Houston through land development and residential construction. Starting with a single self-financed build, he scaled to multi-million-dollar ventures that pioneered today’s hottest in-town districts, from The Heights to Montrose. Beyond real estate, Jose writes (The Business of Home Building) and speaks globally on entrepreneurship and community design.🔑 Key Insights💡 Jose profited by acquiring undesirable inner-city lots and waiting for values to rise.💡 His urban-revival strategy combines affordable housing, retail, and patience to create thriving neighborhoods.💡 Achieving financial independence is challenging, and many give up during tough times.💡 Entrepreneurs continually push themselves, unlike salaried employees who can disengage.💡 Strategic partnerships and financial structuring are more effective than individual genius.💡 Jose prioritized family by taking breaks, demonstrating that legacy outweighs constant revenue💡 Early investment in overlooked areas, followed by expansion, beats following market trends.🕒 Timestamps02:25 - Triple-Major Leap → Business, Econ & Philosophy03:38 - Biggest Risk?
