Real Estate Pros with Dylan Silver

I recently had the pleasure of joining Dylan Silver on Real Estate Pros

And I’m excited to share that the full episode of Real Estate Pros is now live on my YouTube channel. This conversation took us through my entire journey from my early days as a pilot to the moment I stepped into real estate and began building a career that eventually became my full-time focus.

We started with my aviation background because that’s where everything began. Flying taught me discipline, structured thinking, and the ability to make high-stakes decisions with limited information. Those habits became the backbone of my investing philosophy.

As I explained to Dylan, the cockpit prepared me far more for real estate than I ever expected. The systems, the checklists, and the constant emphasis on risk management still show up in my daily work.

From there, we talked about my first steps as an investor. Like many people entering the industry, I didn’t start with a master plan. Instead, I began by learning, testing ideas, and making a few early mistakes that later shaped my strategy. Each property taught me something new about markets, tenants, financing, and, most importantly, about myself as an operator.

We then dove into how my investing approach evolved over time. Dylan and I explored the shift from curiosity to commitment and how I eventually found my lane in real estate. We talked about the importance of running your business like a professional operation, not a hobby. We also discussed why mindset, processes, and relationships determine long-term success far more than timing or luck.

Finally, we wrapped up with advice for new investors and anyone considering a major career pivot. If you’re curious about how someone can transition from aviation to real estate and build an entirely new path, this episode is worth a watch. It was a fun, thoughtful conversation, and I’m excited to share it with you.
