What if you could not only replace but make MUCH more than your W2 salary with real estate investing? Now, imagine you could do it all in just two years. Sounds impossible, right? Today’s guest did precisely that, with more barriers than most. Jon Boyd left his W2 job to pursue real estate investing full-time, all while having to provide for his family of six! Now, he’s making much more than his job ever paid him and is building serious wealth in the process. How’s he doing it? It’s simple: direct-to-seller strategies anyone can try.
Unlike many real estate investors, Jon skipped heavily investing during the 2010s, so his wealth is NOT due to the rapid appreciation of 2020 – 2023. As his W2 whittled him down day by day, Jon knew he needed an exit option. So, he tried one simple direct-to-seller marketing strategy, found a great deal, made a serious profit, and decided, “Let’s go ALL-IN!”
Now, just a few years later, he’s a full-time real estate investor, doing over a dozen house flips in a year, with a portfolio of five rental properties, and making MUCH more than his job was paying. The best part? He does almost all of it himself, and if you’re willing to push past your comfort zone, you can, too!

And when he came back to his job, he also brought his two weeks notice and a plan to go full-time in real estate. Two years later, he’s made more than 30 deals happen. Hey guys, it’s Dave and I’m here today with Henry Washington and a guest he brought us investor, Jon Boyd from Arkansas.
Henry:
Yeah, man, John’s got a pretty amazing story. I mean, he’s literally done the thing that people dream about doing when they start learning about real estate investing.
Dave:
He did the Jerry McGuire. He just rage quit. It’s amazing.
Henry:
Who’s coming with me? Yeah, exactly. No, but he’s…
