It’s not every day you have the chance to meet with a young, self-made real estate developer, angel investor, e-commerce entrepreneur, and landlord. With Austin Cedeno, it’s clear that his wisdom and industry knowledge are well beyond his years, though he’s already amassed successes that often take a lifetime.

At the age of 26, Cedeno is able to look back and reflect on his humble beginnings and recount exactly how he got the money to start all his various endeavors. Coming from a struggling household, Cedeno learned early on how valuable money was, gaining the hunger to learn where it comes from and how to get more of it.

Earning money through constant flips and holding down multiple jobs in high school, Cedeno would buy and sell vehicles and ATVs, saving his proceeds which would eventually fund his business ventures.

Cedeno notes that his biggest success thus far is achieving financial freedom for himself. He explains that this was always a goal, but now that he has it, he’s obsessed with the idea of turning that freedom into generational wealth that his kids can enjoy.

Even though stress and burnout may tend to creep in, Cedeno points out that given his upbringing, he’s particularly skilled in performing well in stressful situations. He can think quickly on the spot and find the best solution to the problem at hand.
