In a 90‑second monologue, Steve D Valentine outlines his 27‑year real‑estate career and personal journey to persuade listeners to partner with him. He earned his license in 1999, lost it in 2000 after a felony from his teenage years, and then joined his parents on the top Realty Executives team until a 2008 partnership collapse left him and his wife with $1.5 M in personal debt. He rebuilt by working in bank‑side foreclosure sales, avoided bankruptcy, and later leveraged knowledge inherited from his father (who died in 2015) to amass roughly $50 M in personally owned real‑estate. He admits to a severe drinking‑addiction that strained his 26‑year marriage, but he entered rehab, repaired his family, and rebuilt his business with a new team. He claims to have flipped about 1,000 homes, participated in ~10,000 transactions, and now runs a hybrid operation that flips properties, advises investors on blind spots, and hosts daily recovery‑support calls for industry peers. He ends with a direct invitation to invest or partner with him.

In the next 90 seconds, you're going to determine whether or not you would do real estate with me based on my resume. So let me just backtrack this. 27 years in the business. I got my license in '99. I also lost my license in 2000 due to a felony charge that I had when I was 18. Spent a little time in suspension jail for that one. Then moved on to be part of the number 1 team of Realty Executives with my parents up through 2008 when our partnership imploded and we lost everything, my wife and I. Had 2 little kids and not a pot to piss in, but $1.5 million worth of debt that we were personally responsible for. Our family kind of imploded at that time. My choice as a man was to go deep, go dark, and figure it out. We did. We went into the foreclosure space representing banks. We built our way out of that. We never filed bankruptcy and we rebirthed ourselves. 2015, my dad dies. He leaves me with a whole lot of information, not a whole lot of money. And I turn that information into a whole lot of wealth. Accumulating about $50 million worth of real estate personally owned. Then I created a really good drinking problem which led me to some lady problems which led me to imploding my marriage for a time being. And today, I'm proud to say that I've also been to rehab. I've also fixed my marriage of 26 years and my family. And I tore down my business after 26 years in the business. I rebuilt myself first and then I rebuilt my real estate business with a really good crew at the rig. So, I'm Steve Valentine. I flipped 1,000 homes. I've I managed to sell and be part of 10,000 transactions in my career thus far. And I have a lot of experiential wisdom because we flipped them, we've held them. I fucked up, I found out, and I fucked up, fucked around and found out. And so today I flip people and help them with their real estate. I help them see the blind spots and what's possible and what's not possible while still running some recovery calls and helping guys and gals inside the real estate space and other industries work through their addiction or their recovery on a daily basis. So, hey, if this looks like a good investment for you, let's do some real estate.
