#153: Robert Fragoso- The Cost of Time in Real Estate

January 2, 2023

“If you’re trying to scale a business of volume, it gets much easier with the right systems in place, but the systems have to continually change.” -Robert Fargoso

 

Today I am interviewing Robert Fragoso. For 17 years he served as the Executive Vice President of Anchor Loans, one of the country’s largest hard money companies. In 2014 Robert departed from Anchor Loans and used his industry knowledge, experience  and network to help others create opportunities in the real estate business. He now partners with investors and agents as a coach and mentor educating them on flipping. He has been involved in over 10,000 transactions and has helped 1,000s of investors increase their yields and expand their business. Robert presented at my FIBI Pasadena Multi-Family meeting. 

 

Robert Fargoso: Was raised in Hollywood and was introduced to real estate at a young age by his parents who self managed an apartment building. At 17 he was introduced to a real estate investor who became his mentor and within a month he was finding deals. From there, his story expands in real estate to  flipping, syndicating apartment buildings in Long Beach on old military property, assisting non profit organizations with home repairs, owning a construction company and so much more.
