From Pit Road to Property: How Matt Is Building Wealth Beyond NASCAR
Thu Jan 29 2026
In this episode of Branching Out: Where Real Estate Meets Life, Christina sits down with Matt — a NASCAR pit crew fueler, husband, dad of four, and one of Branch’s earliest mentees — to talk about what it really looks like to build real estate alongside a demanding career.
Matt’s story isn’t about flashy deals or overnight success.
It’s about discipline, faith, teamwork, and taking action before you feel fully ready.
From fueling race cars in 8-second pit stops to rehabbing near-teardown properties, Matt shares how the mindset of a professional athlete translates directly into long-term investing.
In this conversation, you’ll hear:
• How Matt went from student loan debt to building a growing rental portfolio
• Why his first “rental” was actually buying a home for his mother-in-law
• What NASCAR pit crews and real estate investing have in common
• The misconceptions he had about needing “tons of cash” to invest
• A rehab that uncovered stolen wiring, termites, and a changing scope of work
• Why indecision can cost more than making the wrong move
• His long-term vision: land, new construction, and replacing W-2 income
• How building the right team accelerated his confidence and growth
This episode is for anyone who:
• Has a demanding job and wonders how real estate fits into real life
• Feels stuck waiting to know “enough” before taking action
• Is thinking about long-term wealth beyond traditional retirement plans
• Believes discipline, faith, and community matter just as much as numbers
Whether you’re coming from athletics, a W-2 career, or just trying to plan what’s next, Matt’s story is a reminder that progress comes from movement — not perfection.
