“I wanted to do real estate for a long time. It's not as hard as I thought. You just need someone to coach you through it.”
Kori Haggie came out of college broke. He worked as a security officer and at a halfway house, then got into day trading. His credit was around 630 and his only card was a $300 Capital One card.
He kept seeing people online doing Airbnb and Turo without using their own money, and he wanted to know how. In 2021 he fixed his credit, invested in a mentor, and went on to secure $300K–$500K in funding, which he put into learning real estate.
In February 2023 he closed his first deal: a single-family house in Philadelphia that he turned into a duplex, bought with a hard money lender and business credit. Today he owns 20+ doors and a portfolio worth about $7 million.
Only 3 of his aunts and uncles ever owned property, and his mom never did. Kori is building ownership his family keeps, and teaching others the exact order he followed.
