In this episode, we’re joined by two real estate legends, Cynthia DeLuca and Steven J. David, to talk about REI Week and why now is the time for real estate professionals to start building legacy wealth for themselves — not just their clients.

Too often, agents, brokers, and industry professionals spend their careers helping others create wealth through real estate, while neglecting to do the same in their own lives. Cynthia and Steve break that cycle by sharing how they got started, what they’ve learned over decades of investing, and how real estate professionals can begin thinking like owners instead of just advisors.

Cynthia DeLuca shares her journey from buying her first rental property in 1999 to building a diverse portfolio that includes everything from single-family homes to apartment complexes and commercial properties — even tackling deals most people would run from. Steven J. David brings over five decades of experience as an investor, educator, and industry leader, having owned and managed more than 600 properties while teaching thousands of REALTORS® how to analyze and manage investment real estate.

Together, they discuss:

• What REI Week is and why it matters
• How real estate professionals can get started investing, even while working full-time
• Common mindset and fear barriers that hold agents back
• Practical steps to begin building long-term, generational wealth through real estate

If you’re in real estate and have ever thought, “I help everyone else build wealth — when do I start building mine?” this episode is for you.
