Welcome to the Financial Freedom & Wealth Trailblazers Podcast! In this episode, we’ll dive into one of the most powerful strategies you can use: leveraging real estate to not only grow your wealth but also keep more of it in your pocket.
Jon Chan’s journey into real estate began in March 2020, when the world shut down, and he found himself sitting at a breakfast table-turned-shared desk with his pregnant wife. It was a moment of realization: if one of them couldn’t work, they wouldn’t be in a good position. With no playbook for navigating a pandemic, Jon began searching for a better way.
At the time, Jon was managing properties for his father, and while he’d always heard that real estate was the path to wealth, the numbers didn’t seem to add up. Motivated and curious, he searched YouTube for “how to scale in real estate,” which was the catalyst for change.
Taking a leap of faith, Jon used the CARES Act to pull out $200K and dove into the BRRRR method. He initially believed that success in real estate was as simple as “see property, buy property, collect rent.” However, he quickly discovered that building something meaningful required far more than numbers and transactions—it demanded grit, adaptability, and resilience.
Real estate has become a transformative journey for Jon, not just as an investor, but also as a husband, father, friend, and son. It has challenged him to grow in ways he never anticipated, shaping how he approaches life and relationships. What began as a pursuit for financial security has evolved into a passion for building a future—brick by brick, lesson by lesson.
