EP 620 - A Whole New Ballgame: From Professional Football To Professional Real Estate Investor With Willie Smith
There’s an inside joke in professional football that NFL stands for “not for long” because when the time comes for you to become an indefinite free agent, you definitely have to start thinking about how to pay your bills and feed your family. For offensive tackle Willie Smith, the solution was in professional real estate investing. Starting in residential properties, Willie shifted to commercial real estate and eventually founded his own company, Onyx Capital Investments, in 2019. Sitting down with Scott Carson on the show, he talks about diving into investing and becoming a real estate broker in North Carolina after a career in the National Football League. Real estate is a whole new ballgame for Willie, but it didn’t take him too long to get a hold of his ropes and become successful. Listen in for some tips as well as some market updates from North Carolina and other states.Love the show?
