About this episode

In this episode of For Your Own Good, I’m in Joshua Tree, CA with Alex Kang, a former CPA who made the bold transition into hotel ownership, small business ownership, and real estate investing. Alex shares his incredible journey of immigrating from Korea to Canada as a teenager, attending UCLA for his MBA, and ultimately taking the leap to fully commit to himself and his entrepreneurial dreams. We dive into the practical side of investing, discussing how to make offers on commercial real estate, the tax advantages of cost segregation and depreciation for short-term rentals, and how leveraging your network can help raise capital. Alex also highlights the cash flow benefits of buying small businesses, the importance of setting clear goals, and how being intentional with team selection can make or break your success. Listen for insight into the mindset and strategies needed to scale investments, and how you can apply these lessons to create long-term wealth and financial freedom.
