How do you rebuild your life and business when both your health and the housing market throw you curveballs?

In this special episode of Skip the Lines Podcast, Jonathan Mitchell sits down with powerhouse real estate investor and social impact entrepreneur Melissa Meza. With over two decades in acquisitions, portfolio strategy, and distressed asset repositioning — and more than $1 billion in transactions — Melissa shares how she climbed to the top of the real estate world. From her start in San Diego to flipping over 5,000 homes, founding multiple companies, and leading nonprofit housing initiatives, Melissa’s career is a testament to grit, strategy, and vision.

But this isn’t just about business wins. Melissa opens up about a recent health scare that forced her to rethink her daily life, adjust her routines, and face the mental and emotional toll of sudden change. She dives deep into market challenges, capital deployment strategies, and finding “juicy” deals in today’s unpredictable climate. The conversation also explores her passion for mentorship and a new nonprofit aimed at preventing homelessness before it starts.
