The Good, bad, and the truth about real estate investing!
Don’t let the name fool you. We’re not here to be negative. We’re here to be real pull back the curtain and show you what’s behind those highlight reels.
I’m Kristi Kandel: RE developer & investor. My cohost Erik Stenbakken, and I are bringing you the unfiltered stories behind the deals. The ones you don’t see on social media.
And the wisdom that only comes from actually living it.
Because real estate isn’t all private jets and passive income.
Sometimes it’s evictions and 3 a.m. plumbing disasters.
And we’re here for all of it.
What do near-death climbs, 3 a.m. sewage emergencies, and a full-blown partnership rescue mission have in common?
They’re all part of Corey Harrelson’s wild real estate story — and we unpack every gritty, gut-wrenching, and somehow still inspiring detail in this episode of The Real Estate Pessimist.
Corey isn’t your typical investor. He doesn’t flex Rolexes or pitch you passive income fairytales. He buys “ugly” mobile home parks, deals with literal poop fires, and still comes out standing — not because it’s easy, but because he’s built for the climb.
