“Help People First, the Money Will Follow” – Manny Moreno

December 08, 2025 • Jonathan Mitchell • Season 1 • Episode 79

What if your breakthrough in life and business isn’t about knowing more but knowing the right people?

Manny Moreno is a San Diego real estate investor, agent, and entrepreneur building three companies: Homes By Humble, a private real estate investment firm; Bueno Bueno Homes, a fix-and-flip company; and Bueno Bueno Vacation Stays, a short-term rental management brand. Manny also serves with Humble Design, a national nonprofit helping families transition out of homelessness.

He’s known for sourcing & turning distressed properties into profitable assets, helping everyday people build wealth through real estate, and leading with a “people-first” approach. When he’s not building businesses, Manny is happiest surfing, learning, hosting friends, listening to live music, cruising in his convertible, and exploring new places.
