Joseph Copley’s journey isn’t your typical real estate success story. After spending much of his career in insurance—covering everything from claims to litigation—Joseph pivoted to real estate investment later in life. From early experiences in mortgages to his deep roots in construction through his father, Joseph opens up about what it took to transition careers, the power of experimentation, and how important it is to learn by doing.
In this candid conversation with Mike Mannino, Joseph talks about lessons from past business missteps, including launching an agency during the pandemic, and how he’s bounced back through perseverance and smart relationships. The duo also dive deep into why the Southeast is exploding with opportunity, how legacy industries like textiles are evolving into advanced manufacturing hubs, and what ROI really means when you invest wisely.
