How an Injury Transformed My Journey to Financial Freedom with RE

Brett McCollum (00:00.75)
Welcome back to the show, guys. I’m your host, Brett McCollum, and I’m here today with Trevor West, and today we’re gonna be talking about how an injury led him into real estate. Stay tuned. Before we do, guys, at Investor Fuel, we help real estate investors, service providers, and real estate entrepreneurs to 2 to 5X their businesses to allow them to build the businesses they’ve always wanted and allow them to live the lives they’ve always dreamed of. Without further ado, Trevor, how are you,

Trevor B. West (00:26.396)
incredible thank you so much Brett for having me on

Brett McCollum (00:29.568)
Incredible. I like it. Perfect. Man, it was really cool catching up with you, know, pre-show, getting to know you a bit. And I say this a lot, you know, I just must speak to the people we’re getting on the show lately. But man, you guys are in for a treat. It’s a, this is going to be a great episode. But before we kind of get into all the things, let’s give some people some history, some background. Who’s Trevor West?

Trevor B. West (00:51.55)
Yeah. Yeah. Trevor B West born and raised in Canton, Ohio. And, you know, from a young age, I thought that I was a business minded person and I never really did anything with that through high school or shortly after high school. I joined the military and while all my friends were off going to college, I decided, dude, I absolutely hated school. I couldn’t stand it.

The regiment of it which is strange because I end up joining the military which is much more regimented than school is But I just knew college wasn’t for me. I wasn’t the the book smart type of person and the idea of using my time to learn things that I may or may not use in the future was not very appealing to me But before I joined the service I was really into the Special Forces. I wanted to go and

Brett McCollum (01:22.546)
huh.

Trevor B. West (01:47.295)
either do SEAL Team Six or Army Rangers or Air Force Paratroopers. And so I ended up settling on Air Force Paratroopers, which is what I wanted to do, mainly because their whole slogan was, we do this so that others may live. Air Force Paratroopers, they go behind enemy lines and they rescue people who have been either captured or injured behind enemy lines. And it was just this incredible draw. So I go to join

and I do my physical exam and I find out that I’m colorblind, which I had never known. I feel like I see colors just fine, but for whatever reason, it cut my job list from like 100 to maybe 15. Yeah, green. So it cut my job list, and the next coolest jobs are like these intelligence jobs. I said, okay, I’ll pick four of those.

Brett McCollum (02:22.562)
Yeah.

Brett McCollum (02:27.106)
Let’s test you right now. Trevor, what color is my shirt? Blue! No, it’s red!

Trevor B. West (02:43.85)
Hopefully I get it so I waited a year and a half I worked a construction job while I waited for it and I finally got the call that I had been selected and I did the intelligence thing so at my first base it was we worked a lot with drones so we would see we would work in a big huge room with a bunch of other Intel nerds like a hundred to a hundred and fifty other Intel nerds in a dark room and then we’d stare at screens and we watch

Brett McCollum (03:09.344)
wow.

Trevor B. West (03:12.106)
terrorists in Afghanistan, Iraq, and all these different places, Syria, to present intelligence information to warfighters in the battlefield. It was very far removed from the warfighter itself. But I still had that ambition. I wanted to go and do the incredible thing like the para rescue. So there was a recruiter who came to our base who was talking about this super secret unit.

We didn’t know where they were, what they did. They just said, the things that you see in the headlines on CNN, that’s what we do. I was like, dude, that is for me. So I ended up applying and I got, yeah, exactly. And I got selected and you go down and you do a five day hiring process where they take you through a gauntlet of different tests and regiments and mental exams and physical exams and psych doc interviews.

And I ended up getting selected. was the second youngest person to ever get selected at that time. And from the jump, it was a high speed. I mean, it was intelligent. I mean, it was very fast training from shooting, driving, espionage, counter espionage. Like we did all the things. And then five months later, I found myself in Afghanistan and I was deployed out there and I was

working with some entities that were to not be named. And I was out there with some army rangers and we just went out and did operations every single night. So my job was to find people. And that was, I need to know who you are, what you do, where you sleep, where you wake up, who your friends are, what’s your area like, are they friendly to us forces? Are they not friendly to us forces? When was the last attack? What kinds of weapons are we going to?

be encountering and then I would take that information and I would relay it to the team. Like I was their Intel guy. so iteration after iteration, whether I was talking to peers, commanders or trigger pullers, I was constantly relaying information, learning how to be clear and concise with my communication. so fast forward through a number of different iterations of that, different deployments. I had a really incredible time and honestly like,

Brett McCollum (05:07.139)
Yeah.

Trevor B. West (05:27.99)
99.9 % of the military will never get to experience the things that I got to do. And so I’m super blessed by that. And it built camaraderie, loyalty, and most importantly, communication and the understanding that I can do something at a very high level. So on the professional side, everything was going really great. On the personal side, a young man in the military is living a young man military’s lifestyle. You I was partying a lot. I was drinking every weekend.

I was living paycheck to paycheck. was, you I had got my first credit card at 19 years old with zero financial literacy. You can imagine how quickly I racked up $20,000 in credit card debt driving a brand new car. and so, and I was living with three of my best friends. So I was in this world. I was immersed in this lifestyle. So this is what we did. It’s how we lived. And so

We all joined the rugby team and once we joined the rugby team, was, I mean, we had a blast. Rugby is an incredible sport. If you haven’t played, I definitely recommend it, but it’s definitely not for the faint of heart. But on one fateful Saturday on the pitch, this ginormous human being, came and he just, he tackled me and I was already being tackled from behind and he just snapped my leg. And it was, it was brutal. So.

It put me on the couch for a while and a blessing in disguise, all my roommates deployed at that time. So it was just me, my wheelchair, my Netflix account and my thoughts. And after you burn through about a hundred hours of Netflix, you start to ask yourself some different questions like, what am I doing with my life? Cause I’m a very extroverted person. I love being around people, but for the first time in my life, I was confronted with just me.

and I realized I had no vision for the future. The Bible says without a vision, the people perish. And I realized that that was the path that I was on. And I was like, do I wanna stay in the military? Do I wanna get out and work a job? Do I wanna start a business? I had no idea. And I got fearful, but that fear caused me to take action. Because I was like, okay, I gotta do something. I have all this time. I’ve never been alone. I have this time on my hands. I gotta do something with it. What are the successful people around me doing? They’re going to college.

Trevor B. West (07:53.399)
Okay, that’s what I’m gonna go do. So in the military, you can do these one off courses, you can take CLEPS. So I was like, let me go take a math class. And if I can take that math class and get it done and pass it, the rest of college will be a breeze. And so I’m doing pathagia and Theon for the first time in eight years, hating my life. Because as you know, I was not a school guy back in the day. And I get to the final exam, I’m really dedicating myself to this, get to the final exam.

and they wanna proctor it, so they’re gonna see my screen, they’re gonna wanna look around the room. I had been cheating the entire time, so I quit. And I am a quitter. I quit that class so fast, because I thought if college is gonna be like this, I have to do these things, my original thought, then I don’t want anything to do with it. But my second thought was, well, if I can manage my money, I’ll be successful anywhere. So I went and bought a bunch of books.

Think and Grow Rich, Simple Path to Wealth, Accounting 101, The Richest Man in Babylon, and then of course, we all know it, we all love it, Rich Dad Poor Dad. The Purple Bible. I truly believe it’s changed almost as many lives, not almost as many, it’s probably second to the Bible in the purpose-driven life and how many lives this book has truly changed. But absolutely incredible. So I’ve read, I devoured those books. Never read a book cover to cover in my entire life.

Brett McCollum (08:59.352)
Purple Bible.

Trevor B. West (09:20.32)
But I realized that one, I needed to make a change because the pain of change was less than the pain of staying the same. And from that point forward, I realized that there was this whole other life that I had no idea was out there. That I could have my money worked for me. I could do these things. I could go, of course, invest in real estate. And I had already read The Richest Man in Babylon, so I built out the principles. So from that point forward,

I devoted every penny I had coming in to paying off my debt to, I went completely extreme. I sold my car, I stopped drinking, I stopped going out. I knew that I could live off of $1,236.32 every single month. I could go to the grocery store and buy $20 worth of food, lentils and white rice and I could eat for two weeks. I went berserk and my roommates came back. It was hilarious. They’re like, who is this person?

Brett McCollum (10:17.995)
Yeah.

Trevor B. West (10:19.882)
Who is this guy that like this is not the same guy and but it was whatever was necessary to get to the vision that I had. So of course Robert Fiosak is a real estate guy. So I said that’s it. That’s what I’m going to do. I’m going to devote all my time. So I went and got all the books on real estate watched all the YouTube videos took a community college course on real estate investing. So I learned about foreclosures and bank owned real estate and

Wholesaling and flipping and multifamily and I thought okay most banks my buck. I have access to the VA loan Let’s go buy a multifamily property with the VA loan But probably one of the most important things that I did after I made this change was I found other people who were like-minded I found an environment of people who were young who were motivated and who were taking action and I immersed myself with them and that was the biggest catalyst so I bought

I went and used my V alone to buy a three unit building. And then at that time I had saved up enough cash to put down just enough money to buy a duplex. It took every penny out of my bank account. I think I had less than $50 left. I was like, if this doesn’t work, I’m screwed. But man, I had the favor of the Lord. So it all worked out. fast forward. So after that, I ran out of money. And a friend of mine who

I was in the Air Force with, he was deployed in Africa and he calls me at work. He calls me on a top secret phone and he’s like, hey dude, are you getting into real estate? I was like, yeah. I was like, yes, I am. Because I was telling everybody I’m a real estate investor. Before I ever bought my first deal, I’m an investor, I’m an investor. This is who I am, it’s my identity now. And he said, I said yes, but I have no money. So we ended up partnering up. He had money, I had access to deals.

Brett McCollum (11:57.166)
Yeah.

Trevor B. West (12:14.134)
So him and I went and bought eight units together. And then fast forward to where we are now. I mean, it’s been an incredible journey, but we are, I only bought eight units with him and then I went solo. And right now I’m sitting at 72 units. In September and October, we picked up 45 apartment units. And then in 2023, at the end of the year, I bought two six unit buildings, which is the big catalyst to the change of like,

I can do this on my own. bought a six unit that was stabilized and I bought a six unit that needed complete renovation. Every unit top to bottom. And that was just me. was project manager, property manager, wearing all the hats. And once I finished that, I realized I can go bigger. So a 28 unit portfolio came across my desk, a very similar style, similar game plan. And I said, let’s go for it. And then

Brett McCollum (12:55.182)
you

Trevor B. West (13:11.958)
Two weeks later, realtor brought me another 17 unit portfolio. Again, same style, same everything. And I said, the only way to get this done is to take massive risk, calculated risk. I had built the muscle of understanding how to do this up until this point from my military career, being excellent in that craft, to transforming my life and my finances, to stepping out and taking some risks in real estate.

to doing projects on my own and now I have the capacity to 10x what I’m doing now and who knows what the 10x will be in the future. So that’s a little bit about me.

Brett McCollum (13:51.854)
Let’s do this first. Let’s take a deep breath, everybody. And exhale. Dude, there’s a lot to unpack on that, man. That’s incredible, right? Like, that’s incredible. So I want to back up a little bit, okay? That whole entire thing, you know, because like, it’s, it’s, when you say it, and you know, in a few minutes, versus what’s happening in real life, it could, it must have felt like I have to imagine that time you’re sitting on the couch or

Trevor B. West (14:04.619)
Yeah.

Brett McCollum (14:20.728)
you’re sitting in your wheelchair, whatever it is, that must have felt like an eternity of uncertainty of things like that. And you made a couple comments, and I’m going somewhere with this, you made a couple comments of like, I wasn’t book smart, I wasn’t like this, but to be able to have, and I’m not trying to blow smoke up your skirt or anything, Trevor, okay, but listen, to get to the level of intelligence, things like that, you’re not dumb, right? You have to have some intelligence to be in.

Right.

Trevor B. West (14:51.062)
That’s what they say. Some people say military intelligence is an oxymoron, but I’ll run with you. I’m with you.

Brett McCollum (14:53.656)
That being said…

Brett McCollum (14:57.838)
My point is sometimes it’s emotional intelligence, sometimes it’s book smart intelligence, sometimes it’s, different types, right? And it’s clear from me on the outside looking in that something’s going on in here at a high level. Something’s going off and so when you’re sitting there and you’re not able to, the extroverted side of your personality, you might have just chalked up, I’m just an extrovert.

Trevor B. West (15:02.592)
Yeah.

Brett McCollum (15:23.692)
But I think it’s really a lot more than that, right? So you’re sitting in this wheelchair, you’re sitting on your couch, whatever it is, and you realize like, am capable of, what, 99.9 % of the military can’t do, I am capable of, and I’m left here. And then you’re now, it sounds like what you’re saying is you were confronted with that capability, and then now something physically literally just puts you on the sidelines. In that time, here’s my question.

in that time, it must again, it must have felt like an attorney. But where did the fear because I know it, I know it does when you’re sitting there like that, and you’re not able to do the thing that you thought you were going to keep doing. Where did the fear set in? And then how do you really kind of walk through that to kind of go, okay, I can now take action because there’s always a process on it, it always starts from here. And then you get to this point, and then you confront that thing. And then you go on the other side and have action. like walk me through that time of what it was like.

And then what was the mentality shift that goes action?

Trevor B. West (16:26.614)
Yeah, honestly, the fear was it was it illuminated a void in my life that I had no idea was there. It was there the whole time. But now in the quietness of just me being there without the busyness, the distraction of life constant, hey, look over here. Hey, look over here. No, hey, look inward. Like, wow, there’s actually a huge gaping hole.

Brett McCollum (16:49.998)
I’m with.

Trevor B. West (16:54.976)
That I had no idea was there. So that was where the fear was, my gosh, there’s this emptiness inside me in terms of I don’t have a plan. I don’t have a vision. don’t understand. Like am I just coast? Am I literally just coasting through life? Am I just going to go and get my 20 year pension from the Air Force and then start my life? And this mind, this, these thought patterns started to become obviously once you

realize this there’s really no going back but I remember waking up in the middle of the night and there’s two different instances I saw this video Tai Lopez I’m not sure if you if you’ve seen anything from Tai Lopez I think what you want about Tai Lopez comes off a little interesting but regardless he had like this two-hour YouTube ad where he was talking about how you could go in and build websites for business owners how you could make five

Brett McCollum (17:33.312)
I know.

Trevor B. West (17:52.247)
$10,000 $20,000 a month. I’m like, whoa, what are talking about? You can just go in there. I’m like dude I can talk to people all day I could probably do something like that. So it was like this Oh, there’s just an abundance of different ideas and then the second video was Will Smith talking about Life starts on the other side of your fear. So I was like, okay Well, if I have this fear in me, I’m already an action prone type of person. I got to do something

Brett McCollum (18:05.441)
Right.

Brett McCollum (18:12.974)
Mm.

Trevor B. West (18:20.158)
I can’t just use, I just can’t waste away. I’ve developed all these skills. I’ve built all these relationships. I gotta put this to use. And so that’s where the action came from. So I just started turning over stones. Even if the first, I think a lot of people feel like the first stone that they turn over should be the one. I turned over college and I was like, dude, no, that ain’t it. I turned over finances. Okay, this is building blocks for me to have.

Number of different choices and real estate just happened to be the thing that was what God put in front of me It could have been anything, but I’m glad it was real estate because it’s just learned how powerful it truly is

Brett McCollum (18:57.94)
and it gets us to where we are. So I think that here’s the cool thing.

For me, I’ll speak like that, okay? And then I can see if it, I’m pretty sure it’ll resonate with you too, but life has a funny way of doing things that we didn’t plan for happening to us, right? So my entry into real estate was I was fired from a, I was in the insurance business and I was fired one day after five years and blindsided. I’m like.

climb, climb, climb, climb. You know, all the, you you get all the perfect scores and everything’s going right and then one day you’re fired. It’s like, wait, what? You know, and I had, I was married at this time, I still am, but like I was married. I had at the time two kids, but my second was three months old and I was fired. It must have been, it mentally was like, this is it. So I also, grew up super, super poor. I have a good job. I’ve, I have, I made it at this point in my head. I made it.

Trevor B. West (19:35.627)
Yeah.

Brett McCollum (20:03.298)
This is it. And now I’m confronted with, God, what now? In looking back, I believe that, again, yours was an injury, you know, and your path was probably military to a degree until, and I think that sometimes we look at it and like, we’re praying like, God, what? Like, why? You know, what happened? And you’re like, God, do even see me? Like, because this is not what supposed to happen.

And I think God does think it’s a path that He pushes us on. It didn’t happen to you, it happens, it’s cheesy, but it didn’t happen to you, it happens for you. But we can’t see that in the moment of I’m in a wheelchair in my living room watching 100 Hours of Netflix. Right? Like we don’t see that until fast forward to 2025, March of 2025, and we can look back and go, that happened for me.

I can look back into 2015 and go, that happened for me. You know, cause the pain of going through that experience mentally, you know, I’m sure physically for you, but like the pain of going through that experience was mounting, you know, if like, don’t know what to do. But now here you are, man, like in here, I like, and it’s like, wow, like, I think that helps me for like when

Cause you’re gonna get more, by the way, Trevor, like, don’t know if you know this, and I’m sure you do. It’s not always gonna be easy, even now.

But that helped us to build that resilient mind to say, hey, I’ve been through this before and I can do it again. So yeah, what are your thoughts on that?

Trevor B. West (21:34.772)
Yeah.

Trevor B. West (21:44.501)
Yeah, I think that we’ll all be confronted with the ability to make a decision too. I could have decided, you know what, I’m just gonna stick it out. I’m just gonna stick it out. I’m gonna do my 20 years. And you know, for some people, that’s a good life. And that’s perfectly fine. That is perfectly fine. But I wanted more. When I got into this journey, I started learning, or I started really diving into personal development.

Really starting to understand wow, there is greatness in every single one of us and This phrase from rich dad poor dad will never leave my mind. It is it’s not the intelligent that succeed but the bold There there is not that we are all Intelligent in different ways just like you said emotional intelligence book intelligence Relationship intelligence. There’s there’s so many different types of intelligence

Brett McCollum (22:28.366)
Mmm.

Trevor B. West (22:42.972)
and

Our lives are simply a culmination of our decisions. got to, the best thing that ever happened to me was me breaking my leg and slowing down and realizing there’s space in here for me to think about, hey, what is going on? What are the things that I’m good at? What are the things that I’d like? What is the type of life that I would like to live? And for me, doing 20 years in the military was not the life for me. And realizing that

Brett McCollum (23:12.856)
Mm-hmm.

Trevor B. West (23:15.816)
If I tap into the God-given gifts, talents, and abilities that he’s instilled in me and the path that he’s guiding me down, if I just give my unadulterated, unfiltered yes to life, then dude, you unlock this whole side of life of expanding yourself and creating a life that’s worth living and creating a life worth telling about. I find that, you know, and I wouldn’t have known…

i know if i would have known this i think that god gives us different god when sometimes it comes in a feather sometimes it comes in a hammer and sometimes it comes in a train i feel like me breaking my leg was the train of god said hey let let’s take you over this way if you’re going listen to me then i’m just gonna

Brett McCollum (24:00.664)
I had to take you out of it so that I could, yeah, like that was the only way I was gonna get out of it too, by the way. There was no way I was leaving that situation. Like, yeah. So at the risk of getting a little preachy on our podcast here, I think this is a story that relates. Because here’s the premise, and then I’ll tell the story is, when God gives you permission to do something and he gives you a yes, there’s nobody else who can tell you no. Right? Like.

Trevor B. West (24:08.427)
Yeah.

Brett McCollum (24:29.001)
You can’t buy 45 units, you can’t buy 72 units, you can’t do this. There’s no way that Trevor could do that. He’s never done it before. Why would you be able to do it now? But if God tells you to do it, nobody can tell you no. Here’s the principle that I stand on with that from a biblical…

You’ve heard the story of Peter walks on water. Everybody knows that, even if you’re not familiar with, you’ve heard Peter walks on water before at some point in your life. But what happens is they’re out and there’s a sea and it’s a storm and it’s impossible to get through this and they see this figure out in the water and they, it’s Jesus. And then they’re like, Master, if it’s you, da da da. And then Peter looks out and says, if it’s you, tell me to come out. Right?

And so he’s the, and then the whole cliche is, you know, can do it too. Step out of the boat. You know, you can do it. You know, we, here’s what it’s in to me. That’s interesting is like Peter was no more or less human than you and I, but what he got was permission to do it. And if he gives you permission to do it, there’s no way they can tell you, can’t, you can’t.

Trevor B. West (25:35.606)
Yeah, that’s good.

Brett McCollum (25:37.056)
And so, yeah, so I look at that and go, you know what, man, that’s what I heard from you. It’s like, dude, like, I have now, I’ve got permission to do this thing that might sound crazy to some people. Like, it’s a great, but it’s a great undertaking and it’s a great responsibility and now, it’s a great, you know, and dude, nobody can tell you no. And that’s a very powerful thing, by the way.

Trevor B. West (26:00.438)
Yeah. Yeah. We’ve, we’ve changed our, I mean, we’ve changed our family’s trajectory for generations to come, um, which is truly incredible. And it all came down to a decision, a decision to, you know, go extreme. I had to get my finances in order, um, in order to be able to take this leap. And for a lot of the people around me, they’re not going to understand and they’re not going, they don’t need to understand. Um, but it’s that vision and making the decision to move forward.

Brett McCollum (26:30.316)
in the discipline to do it.

Trevor B. West (26:30.318)
And man, in the discipline to stay with it, even when it’s hard, mean, with 72 units now, the amount of responsibility is incredible. But it’s a beautiful opportunity. And yeah, it really did come down to choices and discipline. And in a few short years, five years, can change your life forever and the lives of your children forever, which is so incredibly powerful.

Brett McCollum (26:40.867)
Yeah.

Brett McCollum (26:56.918)
Yeah, so you’ve got that going on. What’s kind of next though? Like I’m sure you’re like, I know you’re in the middle of it right now and there’s there’s wisdom and stay, you know, you staying in front of yourself. But I also think I kind of got, I think I understand you a little bit more as we’ve been talking. I’m sure you’re still thinking future like plant, like dreaming even like what does the future look like? Ideally.

Trevor B. West (27:20.138)
Yeah, so the future looks like…

It’s…

I would say the future looks like right now we are trying to streamline operations big time. How smooth can we really get things? Because right now it’s crazy chaos. We are just like, let’s, we’re shooting from the hit baby. Like it’s the wild, wild west. We’re just going for it. And now I hired a property manager, W. Tude, property manager. She only manages our properties. so looking towards the future, now that I’ve

Offloaded my 80 % I can focus on my 20 % and look at the growth side of things first of all going back to like my origin story is I need to look internally am I being an effective and efficient leader That is huge. If I don’t get that right Not only does my family suffer the business will suffer my employees will suffer So how can I continue to dial in and lead my team effectively so that we’ll be ready for the next 10x jump?

And what that 10x jump looks like is, so in September and October, I bought a 28 unit portfolio in September, a 17 unit portfolio in October, and it’s like, wow, I’m freaking pouring all of my effort into these units. And it’s the same as when I bought a three unit and I wanted to buy a six unit. Let’s just go, let’s 10x this now. What would it look like to buy a 50 unit?

Trevor B. West (28:54.39)
What would it look like to buy a 70 or 100 unit building? And then with systems and process being able to implement that and go and smoother and so the next iteration of this is even better and I can hire I can move my property manager to see how well have her replace herself and then continue to grow the sink I always say 500 units is a comfortable place to be so 500 units

Brett McCollum (29:03.906)
beautiful.

Trevor B. West (29:21.29)
that cash flows $200 per door. That’s net, net, net, straight to me, is $1.2 million a year. And then from there, I pay my COO, pay my property manager, pay the team. However, I don’t wanna put limits on God. I’m just saying, if God, if you don’t want me to be in real estate forever, if this isn’t the flag that you want me to put in the ground, then hey, I’ll go anywhere. But that’s kind of the goal. If I can get there, that is a platform to which I can jump in any direction.

But for right now, it’s real estate if it ends up being 750 units a thousand units, but it’s not really about the door count It’s really about am I being an effective steward of the properties that we have and are we leading the people that are living in those buildings? Effectively not doing the standard property manager thing where they’re just a number another number But we get opportunities to minister to them We get opportunities to make their lives better because they’re our customers. We want them to come back every single year

Brett McCollum (30:00.93)
That’s right.

Trevor B. West (30:20.106)
happy to with a rent increase if that’s what’s necessary or just happy to stay with us because the experience has been like none other that they’ve had.

Brett McCollum (30:29.836)
Yeah, hey have you read, you may have or not, have you read a book 10x is easier than 2x?

Trevor B. West (30:35.766)
I thought that it might be sitting on my ottoman in the living room. I’m currently rereading it actually right now

Brett McCollum (30:42.606)
Yeah, yeah, because as you’re talking, that’s what I’m, know, like a lot due to branding, people think of Grant Cardone with 10 X, right? You know, but I found the by the way, it’s by Dr. Benjamin Hardy, for those of you listening, look it up. It will. is a game changing book. And it’s when you’re talking, that’s what I’m hearing is that is the framework inside of there. But man, Trevor, I know you and I could talk for hours on end.

just, I mean, it’s just kind of personalities colliding with each other there. But dude, this has been really great. Well, I’m packed so much value out of that. And I know that the audience listening, this is gonna take a lot from it. Before we do go, is there a way that if people wanna get ahold of you, follow along the journey with you, that sort of thing, what’s the best way for that to happen?

Trevor B. West (31:33.95)
Yeah, on social media, you can find me at better Trevor on Instagram. That’s my main platform. I do post on the other platforms, but at better Trevor on Instagram is the best way and then we can spread out from there. But I’d love for people to follow along and I love chatting with people. And honestly, any way that I can add value to folks, I just know how powerful real estate has been and how it changed my life forever. And I would do anything to help other people experience the same.

Brett McCollum (31:48.302)
Yeah, that’s cool.

Brett McCollum (32:00.108)
