Episode Details

In this episode of the Kanawha Valley Hustlers podcast, I talk with David Dean and Travis Goodwin to talk about real estate, business, and the work behind building something of your own. David explains how he moved from playing football at Marshall University into real estate sales, rentals, investing, and house flipping. Travis shares how his view of business changed once he learned that success comes from serving people and solving problems.

Together, they buy homes between Huntington and Charleston through Coach Buys Homes and teach new investors through Small Market REI. Their work helps people dealing with inherited property, repairs, tax problems, or homes that may not fit a traditional sale. On the coaching side, they help investors understand the process and complete their first deal.

We also discuss the shortage of affordable housing and the daily demands of contractors, utilities, inspections, insurance, and repairs. David and Travis explain that their approach is based on options, communication, and finding an outcome that works for everyone.

Their advice for entrepreneurs is direct. Focus on work that creates revenue. Learn how to communicate with people. Pay attention to how you speak to yourself. Do the work yourself at the start, learn from failure, and build systems once you understand the process. Most of all, they encourage people who want to start a business to make the jump, accept that it will be hard, and keep moving forward.
