This One Real Estate Mistake Could Set You Back 10 Years
Welcome back to Radical Wealth Plan, hosted by Paul Mark Morris and brought to you by Entrepreneur Media.
In this episode, I sit down with Isaias, a remarkable realtor with a background in finance, acting, and community advocacy, to unpack the real-world path to building wealth through real estate—without sacrificing the things that matter most. We challenge the widely held belief that financial freedom requires giving something vital up, and instead focus on how to align your goals with a strategy that supports both your life and your legacy.
You’ll hear us explore one of the most overlooked concepts in real estate: the idea that ownership isn’t just about property—it’s about power. Power to choose, power to create, and power to live on your terms. We also get into the mechanics of wealth building that most people misunderstand, including the concept of "forced savings" through homeownership and how this simple shift in mindset can transform your financial trajectory.
If you’ve been on the sidelines wondering whether now is the right time to buy or invest, this conversation offers a practical framework to evaluate your own situation—what to consider, what to avoid, and how to identify a deal that makes sense regardless of where the market stands. We also discuss how to navigate today’s interest rates, where the hidden opportunities are in both hot and emerging markets, and how to separate long-term wealth moves from short-term distractions.
This episode is especially valuable for first-time buyers, aspiring investors, and anyone who wants to build sustainable wealth without betting the farm. Whether you're considering your first home or your next investment property, this discussion will give you fresh insight into what it really takes to make smart, strategic moves in any market.

Welcome back to Radical Wealth Plan, hosted by Paul Mark Morris and brought to you by Entrepreneur Media.
In this episode, I sit down with Daniel Rosales—a full-time LAPD officer and rising real estate force—whose unique path from law enforcement to investment leader challenges the conventional rules of how and when to build wealth.

Why Smart Investors Never Hold On to Property Too Long
Welcome back to Radical Wealth Plan, hosted by Paul Mark Morris and brought to you by Entrepreneur Media.
In today’s episode, I sit down with Anthony Walker, CEO of Buckingham Investments, to unpack one of the most misunderstood yet powerful paths to building real wealth: investing in real estate with a clear, systematic plan. Whether you're brand new to the space or already have a few properties under your belt, this conversation will challenge what you think you know—and possibly change how you invest moving forward.
We explore why so many people buy real estate without a real plan, and why even seasoned investors often focus too much on the deal and not enough on the long game. Anthony breaks down the actual math behind building wealth in real estate—numbers that most people ignore or misunderstand—and explains how small moves, made strategically over time, can compound into extraordinary outcomes.
You’ll hear why return on equity—not just cash flow or appreciation—should be at the center of your decision-making, and how being “deleveraged” can quietly erode your returns even in a rising market. We also dig into the dangers of falling in love with your properties, and how holding too long can work against you if you’re not watching the right metrics.
There are also some big takeaways about timing the market versus timing a deal, the true cost of waiting, and why leveraging your knowledge is more important than trying to find the so-called perfect time to invest. Anthony’s approach blends financial rigor with practical tools that everyday investors can use—no syndicates or secret formulas required.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by real estate or unsure whether it’s the right move, this episode will help bring clarity to your thinking and confidence to your strategy. You’ll come away with a deeper understanding of what actually drives wealth—and what most people miss.

This One Mortgage Mistake Could Cost You Thousands
Welcome back to Radical Wealth Plan, hosted by Paul Mark Morris and brought to you by Entrepreneur Media. In this episode, I’m joined by Jason Morrison, Executive Vice President at Rocket Companies — one of the biggest mortgage lenders in the U.S. Jason didn’t come from a traditional path. He started out selling TVs at Best Buy and worked his way up to leading at the highest levels of the mortgage industry by the age of 40. But what really makes this conversation powerful is what he reveals about the home buying process that most people get completely wrong.
We break down the biggest myths around down payments, interest rates, credit scores, and choosing a lender. Jason shares the advice he gives his own clients — the kind of honest, behind-the-scenes insights most buyers never hear. Whether you’re buying your first home, your next investment property, or advising clients as a real estate pro, this episode will change the way you think about mortgages.

Scaling Up: Why Flip One House When You Can Flip the Whole Block?
Welcome back to Radical Wealth Plan, hosted by Paul Mark Morris and brought to you by Entrepreneur Media. In this episode, I sit down with an incredible guest, real estate developer and investor Chris Senegal. Chris is someone who has completely transformed his career and his community, and today, he’s sharing exactly how he did it.
Chris started out in the corporate world as an engineer, working on massive industrial projects, but he quickly realized that the path to true financial freedom wasn’t in climbing the corporate ladder—it was in real estate. What’s really remarkable about Chris’s journey is how he went from flipping single-family homes to buying entire blocks and revitalizing neighborhoods in Houston. He takes us through the details of his creative financing strategies, how he built partnerships with the right people, and how he leveraged opportunities near billion-dollar developments.
One of the most fascinating parts of this conversation is how Chris successfully raised over a million dollars through crowdfunding, allowing everyday people in his community to invest in their own neighborhoods. He explains how he structured the deal, what he learned from the process, and why he believes that real estate investing doesn’t have to be a zero-sum game.
Chris also shares insights on large-scale development, including his latest project: a 340-unit mixed-income development in partnership with the Houston Housing Authority. He walks us through the complexities of working with institutions, structuring deals, and scaling up from small investments to major developments.
This episode is packed with valuable lessons for anyone looking to build wealth through real estate, whether you’re just getting started or looking to take your investing to the next level. Chris’s approach is strategic, innovative, and, most importantly, impactful—not just for his own financial success, but for the communities he’s investing in.
Stick around to the end, where I put Chris through a rapid-fire Q&A covering everything from the biggest real estate myths to his best advice for new investors. And as always, if you enjoy the episode, be sure to follow, subscribe, and leave a review. Now, let’s get to it.
