Episode 518: How Letting Go Can 10X Your Growth As A Real Estate Investor with Rob Chavez

In this episode, I sit down with real estate investor and entrepreneur Rob Chavez, CEO of Caza Group and founder of the GRID Investor Network. Rob’s built a vertically integrated real estate business spanning sales, construction, private lending, investments, and property management—and he didn’t do it by doing everything himself.   Rob walks us through his transition from solopreneur to CEO, the hard lessons he learned chasing too many rabbits at once, and how letting go of control ultimately 10x’d his income.    Whether you’re just starting out or you’re an experienced investor stuck on the transaction treadmill, this conversation is packed with actionable insight to help you scale, leverage, and build wealth for the long haul.   Key Talking Points of the Episode   00:00 Introduction 01:11 Meet Rob Chavez: Caza Group, GRID Investor Network, and a mission to build wealth through real estate 02:40 Life as a D1 athlete, psych major, and the power of proximity to a mentor 06:03 Working 4:30 AM to 9 PM: Lessons from a serial entrepreneur who modeled success 10:00 Learning to utilize the power of leveraging to streamline and scale the business 13:02 Rob’s operating system B.O.S.S. and the 7 Levels of Freedom 17:05 Helping entrepreneurs evolve from self-employed to business owner 20:00 Overcoming burnout, broken marriages, and bottleneck thinking as a solopreneur 21:25 Why scaling takes 2–3 years and what most people get wrong 24:01 Mastering money math, building leverage, and hiring right 28:05 The importance of inventory stacking, strategy shifts, and recession lessons 30:26 You’re one relationship away from your next breakthrough   Quotables   “Solopreneurs are often stuck in this idea that nobody can do it better than them.
