About the Book

More Than a
Real Estate Story.
A Life Story.

At 12 years old, Roger Real crossed the border illegally. No English. No money. No plan. What followed was three decades of relentless hustle — building businesses, failing forward, and reinventing himself again and again.

In 2020, during a global pandemic, Roger bought his first house to flip. He had never flipped before. He used a hard money loan he'd never used. Ten months later, he sold it for $725,000 — netting over $130,000 in profit. That one deal changed everything and opened the door to commercial real estate.

"I didn't write this book to impress anyone. I wrote it because nobody handed me a roadmap — and I wished someone had."

Inside the Book

What You'll Learn

01
The Deal
Every Number — Start to Finish

Purchase price, rehab budget, hard money loan terms, carrying costs, sale price, and net profit. No fluff. Every dollar exposed so you can replicate the process on your own first deal.

02
Deal Sourcing
Finding Deals Off-Market

Roger didn't find his deal on the MLS. He found it through relationships. The exact approach to sourcing deals before they hit the public market — the way commercial brokers do it every day.

03
The Bridge
From Residential to Commercial

How does one house flip lead to a commercial real estate career? Roger breaks down the connection — and how the skills, mindset, and relationships transfer directly to the commercial world.

04
Financing
Hard Money & Creative Financing

Roger used a hard money loan on his first flip. He explains exactly what it means, how to qualify, what it costs, and when it makes sense — demystifying the financing most beginners avoid.

05
The Journey
30 Years of Reinvention

Building a $1.5M revenue business with $5,000. Losing it. Rebuilding. Finding the path to real estate. The entrepreneurship lessons from three decades that apply to every builder.

06
Mindset
The Immigrant Entrepreneur Edge

Discipline, faith, relentless forward motion — the specific mindset that carried Roger from a border crossing at 12 to a six-figure real estate deal at 48 and a commercial real estate career.
