Скачать или смотреть He Quit His Railroad Job and Built a Real Estate Empire (Ryan Mellies Story)

In this episode of The Red Chair Series, Genevra sits down with Ryan Mellies, a real estate investor turned agent who went from working a demanding railroad job to building a powerful real estate business through flips, rentals, and creative multifamily strategies.

Ryan shares his real story of getting started, including buying his first home during the 2008 crash, learning how to rehab properties the hard way, and eventually building the confidence to leave his W2 career behind.

He breaks down his first real flip deal, how he partnered with a longtime friend, and how that one project helped launch everything that came next. Ryan also shares one of his biggest investing mistakes, a 12 unit apartment deal during COVID filled with permit delays, theft, and holding costs, and why it completely changed how he invests today.

Ryan also dives into his current strategy of owning 25 midterm rental properties, why he prefers Johnson County, KS for long term investing, and how he’s now flipping entire multifamily properties by converting them into condos and selling units individually.

If you are a new investor, agent, or someone dreaming about leaving your job to build wealth through real estate, this episode is packed with real lessons, mindset shifts, and actionable strategy.
