Summary
From House Hacking to Neighborhood Revitalization: Cameron Philgreen’s Journey to 35 Real Estate Units in Waco, Texas Cameron Philgreen did not begin his real estate career with a blueprint or a mentor—he started with a broken-down house in Waco, Texas, and a desire to offset his mortgage. By renting out his garage and basement, he turned his primary residence into a cash-flowing asset. That first step eventually led him to build a portfolio of thirty-five real estate units and purchase two city blocks of mixed-use properties for revitalization. In this conversation, Cameron shares his exact renovation numbers, his honest mistakes (including a six-figure financial misstep), and his larger vision to transform neighborhoods—not just for profit, but as a calling. From learning how to wire a house with YouTube and getting red-tagged by the city multiple times, to creating strong relationships with private lenders and contractors, Cameron’s story is filled with detailed strategies and deep purpose. Whether you are just beginning in real estate investing or ready to scale, this episode offers clear insights grounded in real experience. Guest Bio Cameron Philgreen is a real estate investor, business owner, husband, father, and follower of Jesus based in Waco, Texas. Over the past five years, he has built a portfolio of thirty-five investment properties using strategies like “Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat” and by leveraging other people’s capital. Cameron also owns For Keeps Coffee and Bakery in Waco, where he applies the same operational excellence and team-building that guide his real estate ventures. Through coaching, his podcast, and YouTube channel, Cameron helps others take action in business and life—without sacrificing family, faith, or purpose. Episode Highlight…
