v1.6 - From Engineer to Real Estate Developer: A Freedom Journey (ft. Aram Sarkissian)
Join Dustin and Adam as they sit down with Aram Sarkissian, a former electrical engineer turned real estate developer, who shares invaluable insights on navigating the alternative investment environment.
Aram reveals how his engineering background and business acumen helped him identify and capitalize on real estate opportunities, from Louisiana townhomes to modular construction in Austin, TX.
He discusses why every pro forma is inherently imperfect and why macro trends matter more than complex spreadsheets, and shares practical strategies for evaluating investment opportunities, the importance of strategic pivoting in changing markets, and why true freedom in investing comes from understanding both the numbers and the operational realities.
This episode offers crucial insights for passive investors on due diligence, market timing, and building sustainable wealth through real estate development.
