In this episode of Uncontested Investing, we’re diving into one of the most overlooked yet powerful tools in real estate investing: networking with other investors.
While contractors, asset managers, and lenders are crucial, the truth is that some of the most valuable partnerships you’ll ever form are with people doing the same thing you are—other investors. We discuss how to find like-minded partners, why authenticity is the foundation of trust, and how joint ventures and syndications can help you scale faster than going solo.
This conversation is packed with insights on building community, accessing off-market deals, leveraging partnerships for efficiency, and the patience required to make networking a long-term strategy for success.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
