In 2020, Dave Short was losing $30,000 a month. His attorney told him to walk away. He refused — because he had real people invested in that deal, and he wasn't letting them go broke before he did.

Three years later, the same business netted $147,000 in a single quarter. That's not a strategy. That's character. And it's the kind of thing you only learn from someone who's been tested.

"I've done 470 flips. I still take my licks. The difference is I know exactly why."

Then there's Steve Lehman — “The Grumpy Real Estate Investor”. The guy who was buying deals from Indianapolis' biggest operators before they were the biggest operators. He's walked more neighborhoods than anyone in this city. He knows which wholesaler left a $30,000 repair out of the photos. And he will tell you things other people won't.

Most investors fail not from lack of drive — but from incomplete vision. On March 19th, we're putting both of these guys in one room. Dave and Steve are joining us live for the Roots Real Estate Masterclass — one panel, one night, everything they know.
