From Chocolate Sales to Real Estate Deals: Making Connections and Getting Started in Real Estate Investing. This week on The Executive Real Estate Investing Show, host Michael Holman talks with Clay Hepler. Clay thought he was destined to be a diplomat in South America. Then he actually moved to South America, and found out quickly that the diplomat life was not for him. So the young man pivoted to the family business—chocolate. And when he met a multi-millionaire real estate investor who was willing to mentor him, he was hooked. In just over a year’s time, Hepler has gotten a foothold in Pittsburgh’s Real Estate market. Starting with single-family, he’s just closed on a 13-unit apartment, and is expanding his portfolio with luxury Airbnb’s in Colorado.

Listen now as Clay talks about his early stumbles and the importance of finding the right mentor.
