Description: This episode was sponsored by Cardiff    LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ Today's Dropping Bombs episode delivers raw oilfield-to-real-estate wisdom with Corey Thompson, a former drilling consultant whose straight-to-the-point, no-BS approach makes him unlike the gurus online. He walked away from a six-figure roughneck paycheck to build a vertically integrated Texas real estate empire from scratch.   Corey breaks down how he scooped up an 80-unit mobile home park and a distressed apartment complex for pennies on the dollar, why wholesaling and flipping are dead in today's market, and the cost segregation tax play blue-collar workers are sleeping on.   Whether you're chasing your next paycheck on a rig or stuck clocking in at a 9-to-5, this episode hands you the exact playbook for turning hard-earned cash into real, lasting freedom — no guru nonsense required.     🔗 Connect with Corey  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Roughneck2RealEstate Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/roughneck2realestate Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/roughneck2realestate TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theroughneck2realestate Podcast (Apple Podcasts): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/roughneck-2-real-estate/id1440513790 Podcast (Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/show/4cXgyn0rECEcPCmjIsrb3p Website: https://roughneck2realestate.com   Watch the full-length video version of any Dropping Bombs episode here on YouTube.   Brad Lea is a self-made entrepreneur who turned small-town grit into a multi-million-dollar empire.
