What does nearly five decades of real estate investing teach you? In this insightful episode of The Property Profits Podcast, Dave Dubeau sits down with seasoned investor and author Joel Miller, whose journey began with a rental property purchase in 1978 and evolved into a powerhouse of knowledge across flipping, landlording, and hard money lending.

Joel shares the unique path that took him from mobile DJing to owning rentals, flipping over 100 properties, and eventually becoming a trusted hard money lender in Northwestern Pennsylvania. You'll hear how his first lending deal was sparked around a kitchen table—with a script from a fellow investor—and how it evolved into a thriving business built on relationships and real estate wisdom.

They dive into how Joel evaluates properties before lending, how his deep experience makes him a valuable partner for flippers, and why he only lends on deals he’s personally walked through. Joel also explains how his bestselling book Build Real Estate Wealth is written as if it were advice for his own son—and how it’s become a 460-page reference guide for landlords and investors of all kinds.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why Joel shifted from flipping to hard money lending

• How he uses his 48+ years of experience to vet deals

• The power of local investing and face-to-face lending

• What inspired his comprehensive guide for rental property success

• The importance of teaching and giving back through landlord associations
