In this episode, Seth Bradley sits down with Michael Flight, a seasoned real estate investor and developer, who shares how he made, lost, and plans to make his next million. Michael Flight explains that his story begins with a value-add shopping center project early in his career, a challenging deal with vacant anchor tenants and environmental issues. After several years of redevelopment and refinancing, the project paid off massively, marking Michael Flight’s first million-dollar milestone.
Key Highlight Points:
- First Million: Earned from a value-add shopping center redevelopment that overcame major hurdles (vacancies, environmental problems) and paid out big after refinancing.
- Early Lessons: Started with small multifamily properties, his first rent check in cash ($900) made a lasting impression about cash flow and ownership.
- Longevity: Over 35 years in real estate, building wealth through steady, value-add projects.
- Last Million: Currently tied up in private tokenized investments, waiting for retail liquidity events.
- Next Million: Betting on the tokenization and data revolution, especially through companies like Proximal, which allows AI analytics on encrypted corporate data without exposing proprietary information.
- Vision: Sees data as the new oil, believes tokenization and secure data analytics will define the next generation of billion-dollar companies.
