Episode Summary
In TCREI Show #18, we welcome Corey Wright, a Minnetonka-based real estate investor with an incredible story of hustle, learning, and long-term growth. Corey grew up in North Minneapolis and started out in the trades, installing sheetrock for local home flippers. But his curiosity and work ethic opened bigger doors — networking with other tradespeople, learning the ins and outs of real estate, and eventually flipping his own properties.
Today, Corey runs multiple real estate businesses, including flipping, property management, and sales. His depth of knowledge in home construction allows him to identify opportunities others miss, and he’s now flipping homes with ARVs over $2 million.
Corey’s story is a reminder that consistent work, curiosity, and a willingness to learn from those around you can turn any job into a launching pad. We loved having him on the show — and we think you’ll love hearing his journey.
