In this game-changing Dropping Bombs episode, real estate investor and content creator Rich Somers returns to share how he scaled Somers Capital to $95M+ portfolio. Former air traffic controller who cashed out his 401k to chase real estate, Rich exploded to 700K+ followers in 3 years and interviewed industry giants like Grant Cardone and Dan Martell.
Rich reveals why hyper-focusing on California coastal markets pays off big, how he flips underperforming venues into winners, and his shift from hands-on operator to content and community builder. He exposes the plays making boutique hotels outperform and creating recurring revenue that sticks.
