What role do title companies really play in real estate investing—and why do so many deals fall apart without the right one?

Why do some real estate investors thrive while others struggle to keep up with shifting market conditions?
Bennett Andrews didn’t set out with a master plan to become a successful real estate investor. Like many in the industry, he found his way through hands-on experience, learning the ropes of flipping, wholesaling, and property management. Over the years, he’s built a strong rental portfolio and adapted to economic cycles, always staying ahead of market shifts.
I brought Bennett onto the 🎧 Florida Real Estate and Entrepreneurs podcast because too many investors fail to recognize the importance of adapting to market changes. The reality is that real estate success isn’t just about buying low and selling high—it’s about understanding market cycles, knowing when to pivot strategies, and continuously evolving. With institutional buyers reshaping the industry and new marketing channels emerging, investors who don’t keep up risk being left behind.
Bennett and I dive deep into the evolution of real estate, the impact of large-scale investors, and the critical role of mentorship and community in long-term success. We also cover his transition from flipping to wholesaling, his approach to property management, and how networking with ethical business owners has opened new doors.
🎧 TUNE IN now to hear Bennett’s insights on building a resilient investment strategy that stands the test of time.

Why do so many real estate deals fall apart before they ever reach the closing table?
When Hannah Whorton first stepped into real estate, it wasn’t part of some grand master plan. Like a lot of us, she stumbled into it, helping her parents with their Airbnbs, assisting a local wholesaler with flips, and learning the business from the ground up. Fast forward a few years ⏩ and she is now working with ezREIclosings, the nation’s largest transaction coordination company, helping investors across all 50 states 🌎 get their deals to the closing table.
I brought Hannah on the 🎙️ Florida Real Estate and Entrepreneurs podcast because too many real estate investors, especially newer ones, don’t realize how much money is slipping through their fingers simply because deals fall apart before closing. The truth is that over 50 percent of real estate transactions fail, not because the numbers don’t work, but because of preventable mistakes. Poor communication, missing paperwork, mismanaged timelines. It’s all fixable, but only if you have the right systems and people in place.
Hannah and I dive into what it really takes to keep deals on track, the power of delegation, and how knowing when to step back from the day-to-day grind can be the difference between running a hustle and building a real business. We also talk about her first rental property 🏘️ and what she has learned from working with top investors.

Brent Bowers never set out to be a land investor 👨💼.
For years, he was focused on his military career, dedicating his time and energy to serving as an Army officer 🪖. But as the long deployments kept him away from his family, he knew something had to change. He needed a way to provide for his loved ones without sacrificing the time he wanted to spend with them. That’s when he started looking into real estate 🗺️, searching for an opportunity that could give him both financial freedom and a better work-life balance.
What he found wasn’t the traditional path of rental properties or house flipping. 🌱 Instead, Brent discovered “vacant land”. Unlike rentals, land required no maintenance, no dealing with tenants, and—if done right—offered strong cash flow with minimal overhead. 🎙️ In this episode of Florida Real Estate and Entrepreneurs Podcast, Brent shares how he made the leap from the military to full-time investing, why land became his strategy of choice, and the simple but effective methods he uses to find and acquire valuable properties.
💬 Brent talks about the bigger picture—how he’s built a life where work doesn’t control his time, and how he helps others do the same. He’s passionate about teaching investors how to tap into land deals, understand what motivates buyers, and create a business that supports their personal goals.
🔎 Listen in as we explore Brent’s journey, his approach to acquiring and finding land deals, and the mindset that drives his investing. Don’t miss this!

Rich Lennon knows the grind of real estate. With hundreds of deals under his belt, he built a career flipping homes and managing rentals, doing what most investors only talk about. But by 2020, he realized the constant juggling of renovations 🛠️, tenants 🧑🤝🧑, and deadlines ⏳ wasn’t leading to the freedom he’d been chasing. 🔄 Something had to change.
That’s when Rich found a better way. He shifted his focus to private money lending in Richmond, Virginia, starting small and quickly growing his business into one of the largest in the region. Today, Rich manages up to $6 million in loans at a time, working less than five hours a week. It’s not just about making money... ⏰ it’s about earning back time and enjoying life.
Rich discovered how to earn 30% to 50% returns 📈 on large amounts of capital without the endless headaches of traditional property management. While he still holds onto parts of his rental portfolio, lending has given him a way to scale his business, reduce stress, and finally achieve the freedom he’s worked toward since 2011.
🎙️ In this episode of Florida Real Estate and Entrepreneurs, Rich opens up about his journey, sharing the strategies that changed his life and the lessons that can help you change yours.
👉 Don’t just take my word for it—watch the episode now and see how Rich’s approach can transform the way you think about lending!

What if real freedom isn’t about working harder—but building something that truly serves your life?
That’s the journey Alex Pardo takes us on in this episode. Over 15 years, Alex built a successful real estate career, flipping over 700 homes 🏘️. But after years of intense hustle, he realized he needed something different—something scalable, low-stress, and aligned with his values of faith, family, and personal growth 🔝.
Alex’s story began with a life-changing backpacking trip across 23 countries 🌏. This experience didn’t just broaden his worldview—it sparked a deeper passion for personal development and entrepreneurship. In 2005, Alex jumped into wholesaling and quickly became a key player in Miami's real estate market 📊. But despite his success, he longed for more freedom—both financially and personally.
That shift came when Alex made the pivot to self-storage investing in 2021. Today, he owns over 104,000 square feet of self-storage space across Florida and Mississippi. In this episode, Alex explains why self-storage is a superior investment choice—offering low operating costs, fewer headaches, and impressive resilience in any economy 📈. 🧠 He also shares how entrepreneurs can leverage their unique skills and experiences to find success in certain real estate assets.
✂️ Sometimes, the most powerful change comes not from doing more, but from stepping away from what no longer serves you—and learning to let go of the things that keep you from living your life on your terms.
🎧 Listen now to hear more about Alex and his bold decisions in the real estate industry!
