Nick Perry spent years stuck in the same 9-to-5 grind he now warns others about before turning a leap into real estate into a multimillion-dollar business. That journey, from broke and homeless to running his own wholesaling operation, is what brought him to sit down with Sean Kelly on the Digital Social Hour.
The conversation moves fast, covering everything from whether wholesaling still works after the NAR settlement to the credit-hacking tricks Nick Perry uses to travel the world, before landing on a bigger question: what actually makes people happy once the money shows up.
About Nick Perry
Nick Perry built his career in real estate wholesaling, learning the business from the ground up and using it to climb out of one of the hardest stretches of his life. He now runs 7 Figure Cartel, sharing what he has learned about deal-finding, negotiation, and scaling a real estate business without traditional capital.
His path took him outside the U.S. as well, where he has applied the same resourcefulness to international living and travel, turning credit card points and rewards programs into a system for funding a location-independent lifestyle.
