About this episode
Welcome back to Radical Wealth Plan, hosted by Paul Mark Morris and brought to you by Entrepreneur Media. Today I’m joined by Chris Zaferes — a chiropractor who turned a $7,000 down payment into a real estate fortune. In this episode, we dive into how he bought his first Venice Beach home when everyone else was scared to, why trusting your gut in a down market can change your life, and how timing a neighborhood can be even more powerful than timing the market. Chris’s story is proof that you don’t need to be a developer to build serious wealth — just the courage to act when others hesitate.
