  • From Million-Dollar Deals to Federal Prison: The Portia Louder Story
    Apr 23 2025

    On this week's episode, Avery is joined by Portia Louder, a former real estate investor who served five years in federal prison for mortgage fraud. Portia shares the gripping story of how she transitioned from a hardworking photographer and mom to being deeply involved in high-risk real estate deals that spiraled into illegal territory. She offers powerful insight into how easily these “gray area” deals can turn into life-altering legal troubles, and emphasizes the importance of integrity and doing business the right way. Her journey of redemption serves as both a cautionary tale and an inspiring reminder that it’s never too late to turn things around.

    Apr 16 2025

    On this week's episode, Avery is joined by commercial real estate attorney Carrie Risatti to dissect some of the most common real estate “hacks” that could land investors in serious legal trouble.
