In this episode recorded during WealthCon in Las Vegas, I sit down with Brock Holyoak, a blue collar builder turned real estate investor who has built a reputation for speed, efficiency, and delivering strong returns for investors.
Today he runs a construction operation capable of building 70 to 80 homes a year, focusing on quality homes priced under $400K while completing builds in around 90 days, nearly twice as fast as many competitors in the market.
We dive into the structure of Brock’s business and how he has been able to scale production with a lean team of just five people. He breaks down his debt first investor model, where investors get paid before he does, and explains how that structure allows him to consistently turn investor capital multiple times per year while targeting 45 to 50 percent returns. The conversation also explores how he manages projects, maintains speed without sacrificing quality, and keeps operations running smoothly at scale.
Beyond the numbers, Brock talks about the importance of relationships in construction and why strong loyalty with subcontractors is one of the biggest advantages a builder can have. We also discuss broader investment strategies, different ways people can participate in real estate deals, and practical opportunities for generating income in the space today.
If you want a real conversation about building wealth through real estate, construction efficiency, and working with investors, this episode delivers a raw and honest look at what it takes to rebuild from nothing and scale a serious operation.

What started as a fun way to teach her kids about food, creativity, and hard work quickly became something much bigger when her then 7 year old son asked a question that changed everything: "How can we make more money and not be at every single event?" That one question sparked a serious commitment to building a real, sustainable business for the sake of their children and their family.
