In this episode of The Wealth Clock Podcast, host Steven Weinstock speaks with Caleb Johnson, founder of Red Sea Capital and host of From Trial to Triumph. Caleb shares how he went from being a C-student in high school to owning and managing more than 1,200 multifamily units across four states — all before turning 30.
He walks through the steps that took him from his first 4plex house hack to raising capital for large commercial properties, explaining the lessons learned along the way about discipline, mindset, and investor responsibility. Steven and Caleb dive into the realities of syndication, the benefits of vertical integration, and how creative financing and seller carrybacks can turn tough deals into profitable investments.
Listeners will learn:
• How to start with small multifamily properties and scale up
• The right way to structure syndications and joint ventures
• How to find creative financing opportunities with sellers
• Why mindset and emotional discipline matter in every deal
• How to protect investor capital in uncertain markets
This episode is a must-listen for anyone serious about building long-term wealth through real estate. Caleb’s story proves that success in this business isn’t about where you start, but how you think.
