Austin Rutherford’s Real Estate Journey from Broke to Multi-Millionaire

Episode Summary

This week we had the privilege of interviewing one of our favorite influencers and juggernauts in the real estate investing world, Austin Rutherford. Throughout the episode, Austin walked us through his experience of going from a broke 20-year-old car valet to amassing a real estate empire of over $20 million before age 30. What’s most impressive is that he owns over 100 properties completely outright with no partners. Austin’s journey starts with a major leap of faith at age 21 by maxing out credit cards to spend $25,000 on a coaching program that he believed would pave the path for him to live the life he always dreamt of. Using lessons from the program, he raised $247,000 from private money lenders to fund his first flip and netted a whopping $107,000 profit on his very first deal. Instead of purchasing a shiny new car or spoiling himself like most people would do, Austin reinvested all that money back into his business. He has since flipped and wholesaled hundreds of properties and started his own real estate investing educational platform called Elevate Life. Elevate Life teaches other aspiring entrepreneurs how to invest in all aspects of real estate while providing them with all the tools and resources necessary to be successful. Austin’s goal is to continue to add as much value back into the community as possible and to inspire others to become the best version of themselves! Whether you're a seasoned investor or just getting your feet wet, Austin's story is sure to inspire you to take your game to the next level.
