In this special birthday edition of The Kevin Dairaghi Show, Kevin sits down with seasoned real estate investor Antoine Martel—marking the anniversary of their first interview. Since launching his investing journey in 2015, Antoine has completed over 650 fix-and-flip deals and built a thriving business rooted in perseverance and smart strategy.
Antoine shares how he broke into real estate while still in college, cold-calling leads, and building a reliable team in Memphis, TN. He reveals how strategic networking, out-of-state investing, and creative deal-sourcing (like email list marketing) propelled his success. The conversation also dives into navigating rising interest rates, the appeal of Midwest markets, and balancing growth with personal discipline.
Beyond strategy, Antoine opens up about the personal side of entrepreneurship—staying focused, cutting distractions, and maintaining balance while scaling. It’s a candid look at what it really takes to succeed in real estate without losing sight of what matters most.
