Paul shares his candid story of building millions after selling his staffing company, only to lose it all by 2008 through speculation rather than true investing. He explains the key lessons that shaped Wellings Capital’s disciplined approach: focusing on conservative structured deals (preferred equity and JV hybrid), strong operators, and durable assets in multifamily, self-storage, mobile home parks, and more. The conversation covers the risks of over-leverage and lofty projections, the power of base-hit returns, visionary-integrator dynamics, and why capital preservation beats chasing high IRRs. Paul Moore is the founder of Wellings Capital and author of The Perfect Investment and Storing Up Profits. He has interviewed hundreds of investors to uncover what creates lasting success in real estate.
