Summary

On this episode of Next Level CRE, Matt Faircloth interviews Chris Lopez, a real estate entrepreneur who transitioned from a tech-savvy internet marketer to a successful real estate broker and investor.

He discusses his evolution from active investing into passive syndication opportunities, including educating clients on return on equity and “lazy 1031” strategies.
