Early Life
Pustejovsky was born on May 31, 1980, in Baytown, Texas. His family moved to Carver, Massachusetts when he was five years old. He grew up in a kind and caring household.
He had a natural feeling of personal accomplishment that motivated him to work hard. Despite not being the brightest student, he was accepted into Vanderbilt University.
Even though he spent a lot of time partying, Phil received his Mechanical Engineering degree on schedule. However, his GPA was low, and he had a difficult time finding work.
Real Estate Career
There was no mechanical engineering position available for Phil after graduating. So, he had to take low to average paying jobs. At first, he worked as a valet. After applying for numerous jobs, he finally got accepted at the Trane Company.
He sold commercial HVAC systems. Around this time, he already started to gain interest in real estate. And when he decided that selling air conditioning systems wasn’t for him, he tried marketing properties. It was very difficult for him in the beginning.
Fortunately, someone offered to mentor him in his newfound profession, and he made many successful deals. This experience gave him the idea to be a mentor himself. He started his company and course, Freedom Mentor.
YouTube Channel
Despite his talents in coaching, Phil quickly learned that marketing was his weak point. So, he tried a new approach. He filmed videos on the secrets of real estate and uploaded them to his self-titled YouTube channel.
The videos were a success, and he continued to generate more content. His channel features lectures on investing in real estate and finance. Occasionally, he talks about other assets such as stocks.
Phil’s videos have reached a total of more than 100 million views. This makes him one of the most well-known real estate investing YouTube content creators in the world. Currently, he has over 323,000 subscribers.
Books
The accomplished investor is the author of several best-selling books. One of his most successful works is How to Be A Real Estate Investor. It lays out a step-by-step approach for becoming a real estate investor, regardless of one’s financial status, credit score, or level of experience.
Phil Pustejovsky’s other best-seller is “Real Estate Investing Gone Bad”. It includes 21 true instances of real estate investing transactions gone awry and the lessons readers can take away from them.
