From the Projects to Ferrari-Driving 8-Figure Investor! Welby Accely
Download MP3Welby Accely may be a real estate investor with an enviable rental property portfolio and a flashy car... But his journey to wealth wasn’t a cake walk. Not by a long shot.
In fact, Welby started life in government housing in Brooklyn… and found himself financially “wiped out” three times before experiencing the epiphany that made him a fortune flipping and holding real estate.
Today, you’ll hear it all. It’s a story about taking extreme ownership, refusing to quit, and earning the right to demand respect as “the most important person in any deal”: the buyer.
Welby also talks about:
- Growing up in the Canarsie projects and dreaming of being rich someday
- His brother’s incarceration and death, and how he turned them into motivation
- The investing lesson that didn’t sink in until he’d gone broke for a third time
- Commanding a room and demanding respect from tenants and vendors
- Why landlords are “superheroes”, not villains
- Why he says the BRRRR strategy is “extremely dangerous”
- How to BRRRR without getting burned
- Funneling flip profits into rentals
- Sharing his losses on social media
- Why he warns against long-distance investing
