Episode 36 with James Hogan

“I want to provide good homes for people. I want to help build communities. I want to take away the eyesore in the community and make it nice.

And I know what it's like to go from living in these shitty places to - I live on the water now because of real estate And truly being dedicated and working hard and loving it makes it a lot easier to work.

Join me as I interview James Hogan with Smile Home Buyers, a cash buyer for residential real estate in the Tampa Bay area. At the age of 18, James left home to live on his own in Albany, New York. After a few years of hustling in construction and restaurants, he went back to school and earned an internship with a commercial real estate firm.

After 7 years of being an agent, James moved to Florida to go all-in on investing in real estate full-time and mentoring other agents.
