Ralph DiBugnara is a nationally recognized real estate expert who serves as President of Home Qualified – the digital resource for buyers, sellers and real estate agents driving today’s millennial market; and Vice President at Cardinal Financial, a nationally recognized mortgage loan company behind $28 billions of closed loans. A frequent industry commentator, Ralph is considered one of the leading voices across the next big trends in real estate.

 

In this episode we are going to talk about the difference between how you invest when you've experienced losing everything you have, versus how you invest when you've never experienced losing everything, and why we think about the exit before we make an entry. We will also talk about Ralph's personal mission to empower the next generation of real estate investors to grow successful careers, live successful lives, and become future leaders. I hope you enjoy this episode!
