No One’s Coming to Save You | Joao Macavilca

“It's one thing to invest in person A, but why not invest in yourself?” Joao Macavilca went from pharmacy aisles to flipping 70+ homes—armed with nothing but grit, a Home Depot manual, and a vision for something more. Today, he’s a licensed contractor with nearly 100 units and a 54-unit apartment under his belt. We talk real risk, creative deals, and why no one is coming to save you.
