Max Maxwell: Broke at 30, Wholesaling Millionaire at 33

You wouldn’t know how far Max Maxwell has come at first glance. Looking at his Instagram, you’ll see private planes, a wealth of knowledge on real estate, and seriously shiny Rolexes. Not many people know that only a number of years ago, Max was broke, without enough money to fill up his car with gas, and sleeping at his mom’s house after ten years of failed businesses.
Now, Max is well known as a master in wholesaling, rental property investing, and philanthropy. He has always made an effort to help those in need and even went to Ghana with today’s host, Nasar El Arabi. These North Carolinian investors have truly gone from rags to riches and have been able to find meaningful, lasting success through real estate investing.
Should Max and Nasar be at BPCon 2022? Let us know in the comments!

Great episode Nas thanks for the invite and BP thanks for the opportunity

[@hangarnut5660]

Did not know you were in Cheyenne. I was out there at FE Warren from 1998 to 2005. I was in the Comm Sq. Damn small world.

[@theholmes7935]

This was a great episode. Max you and Nas are making me work harder at becoming an independent investor. My wife wants a helicopter and I want one as well. I will get us there. And Bigger Pockets is the truth. I will get a membership in the next couple of weeks.

[@GarlindaPrice]

Great interview!! I’m in Fayetteville NC and used to be the operations manager for a wholesaler here!!

[@antoniostephano]

Nasir you re a natural and should probably have your own bigger oickets podcast with your own style.

[@theskepticalinvestorwithja8303]

Yes yes yes! Couldn't agree more

[@CoachChadCarson]

Nas and Max on BP!! Now we're talking!! Great to see you guys on here sharing your wisdom.

[@tzvirabiner]

This is real stuff right here

[@MaxMaxwellYT]

Thanks for watching brother.

[@ramblinjamman]

Talk about an inspiration! WOOOOOOW, Max. This speaks to my heart from personal experience on many levels. Hearing a story of someone who went from flat broke - even negative for a moment when you filled up the Jetta - to thriving is just sensational. So often I encounter folks that had some "leg up" to kick off their investing career, but those of us that started at the bottom seem few and far between. Thank you for being so transparent and serving as a "no excuses" example for anyone trying to rise up from the ashes. Well done, gentlemen.

[@toya8888]

This was such a great interview! The guy Nasir is so funny lol and Max Maxwell definitely dropped some gems as always! Loved it!

Sure , all these guys r successful. But, they always leave out the in between details of there deals. They just say (I bought it no money and sold it... But, at same time I'm dead broke😅. They all make there money off seminars and training. Which make you think.. How did u get ur success again was it real estate or is being a smooth talking salesmen of how to get rich on whatever.. 😅🤑🤔. KZbin 4 eva...!!!! Just like Chris Rock said there is (No money in making the cure.. The Money is in the come back)..
