The Hidden Upside

Join Chris Shebib, Realtor and Real Estate Investing Coach, in honest and informative conversations about Real Estate, Life Lessons and Mindset.

Guests share their Real Estate success (and failures) as well as excellent advice, actionable steps and insight only experience can bring. From local property managers to guests with over $300 million portfolios, there is something for everyone -- whether you are buying your first property or your 100th door.

Through lively conversation, you will hear about ideas, good and bad decisions, people who inspired and influenced the direction of a company or a major decision. Often an unexpected change or having a deal "go south" was a pivotal turning point or lesson learned that made a huge difference and, in the end, provided invaluable learning.

Come and discover The Hidden Upside.
