The Nick Chaconas Experience
A Journey of Wealth & Well-Being
From "aha" to "oh crap ," I'm sharing everything on my journey as an investor.
My name is Nick Chaconas. Just an ordinary guy who decided I wanted something more.
"My family deserves better. I'm capable of so much more. I'm tired of living a mediocre life as I trade time for money."
That's how it all started. I was sick and tired of the life I was living, with all the wrong dialogue playing on repeat in my head.
In early 2021 I committed to leave the life of "just being a realtor" behind and become a real estate investor .. and to document the journey from brand new real estate investor to having consistent $20,000+ months!
