CJ Calio - The Deal That Changed My Life

In this episode of The Deal That Changed My Life, CJ Calio from WNN Properties shares the real estate deal that transformed his path from UPS driver to financial freedom in just four years. Based in Hawaii, CJ focuses on out-of-state investing, building wealth through buy-and-hold residential and commercial properties in more affordable markets.

CJ dives into the pivotal deal that changed everything: an 11-property portfolio he secured without having the cash in hand. By leveraging OPM (other people’s money), he raised $500,000 in under 30 days to close on the deal. This portfolio not only accelerated his journey to early retirement but also opened doors to larger opportunities, including a $3 million commercial property.

Topics covered in this episode:

• How CJ built financial freedom in 4 years through real estate

• The power of resourcefulness vs. resources in investing

• Leveraging private money and creative financing to scale

• Using the BRRRR method on a portfolio of 11 single-family homes

• Transitioning from residential to commercial real estate deals

Whether you’re a beginner investor or looking to scale your portfolio, CJ’s story is proof that with the right mindset and strategy, you can create financial independence through real estate.
