Built For Wealth

Ep 025 | No-Money-Down Real Estate in Cabarrus County | Kirk Hanson’s Playbook

Josh Swart Season 1 Episode 25

Ever driven past a billboard that made you laugh and remember the realtor’s name?

That’s pretty much Kirk Hanson in a nutshell. In this episode of the Built for Wealth Podcast, I sit down with Kirk – a race car driver turned Cabarrus County realtor, investor, and broker-owner – to talk about how he’s built his business with bold marketing, no-money-down deals, and a whole lot of hustle.

We get into how he went from:
- Selling tires and cars on straight commission
- Deciding he wanted to be a full-time race car driver
- Jumping into real estate investing with almost no cash
- Buying 30+ houses in 18 months using other people’s money

Kirk shares real stories about:
- The famous “Don’t divorce your wife, just buy a bigger house” billboard
- Why he treats real estate as a marketing business first
- Finding undervalued MLS deals when everyone else misses them
- Working with investors from all over the world who buy in Cabarrus County and the Charlotte market
- Turning trashed foreclosures into clean, retail-ready homes that sell fast
- Helping a broke restaurant owner buy his first flip, then several homes, then shopping centers

We also talk about what’s happening right now in the Charlotte/Cabarrus market:
inventory, pricing, the number of people moving here, and how that creates opportunity for investors, flippers, and realtors who actually know their numbers.

This episode is especially for you if:
- You’re a realtor who wants to stand out and build a brand people remember
- You’re a house flipper or wholesaler trying to find better deals
- You’re interested in no-money-down real estate and using OPM (other people’s money)
- You like real stories, not theory

We finish by talking about how real estate has changed Kirk’s life, how he’s helped agents and investors build real wealth, and why helping other people win might be the best part of the whole business.
