Remember when flipping houses became THE thing to do if you were looking for a side hustle to make a not-so-quick (but big) buck? Well, it turns out there’s more to the phenomenon than making money, and there are good guys who are still doing it.
This real estate act can also be a way to bring communities together. On this episode of The Pursuit of Home, host Scott Harris sits down with Marina Joseph, founder of Sunshine State Property Ventures, about how she’s redefining real estate by putting people and communities first. From her roots as an entertainment designer to becoming a purpose-driven property flipper, Marina shares how she renovates starter homes with care, fosters trust with buyers, and builds stronger neighborhoods across Florida. It’s an inspiring conversation for anyone interested in ethical investing, accessible homeownership, and creating real change, one home at a time.
Real estate is SO much more than a money-making machine; it’s a way to get closer to the people around you and ultimately, yourself. If you’re interested in exploring how, Scott’s book, The Pursuit of Home, is now available for pre-order! Get your copy here: https://bit.ly/thepursuitofhomebook
