He built a “sexy” real estate portfolio in the early 2000s…
Then 2008 hit.
Reserves drained.
Assets liquidated.
Eventually — bankruptcy.
Most investors never come back from that.
In this episode, Jon St. Leger breaks down:
• What the 2008 crash really felt like
• Why he keeps his portfolio at 33% LTV
• How to prepare for the next recession
• What “Equity Manifestation” actually means
• How he turned a 20-room motel into a 47-key boutique hotel
• Why delayed gratification builds real wealth
• The blue-collar advantage most people ignore
If you’re serious about building generational wealth in real estate — this one is different.
