Wealthy AF Podcast
WEALTHY AF — AUTHORITY & FREEDOM
Wealthy AF is a podcast about standards, ownership, and becoming a better operator.
Hosted by real estate investor, developer, and entrepreneur Martin Perdomo, the show is for landlords, real estate investors, entrepreneurs, and individuals building businesses, portfolios, capital, family, and legacy for the long term.
Each episode is a short, disciplined conversation about the principles behind serious ownership:
• Operating your real estate portfolio like a business
• Building systems instead of depending on yourself
• Holding property managers and teams accountable
• Protecting cash flow and controlling expenses
• Making better decisions under pressure
• Building discipline, standards, and personal authority
• Thinking like an owner-operator instead of a hobbyist landlord
• Building durable wealth over decades—not chasing short-term wins
No hype. No shortcuts. No pretending ownership is passive.
Because buying the asset is only the beginning. The standard is learning how to operate it.
AF = Authority & Freedom.
Not a motivational podcast. A standards podcast.
For operators building quietly—capital, business, family, and legacy—without noise, validation, or permission.
One idea. Eight to Ten minutes. Weekly.
Since 2020. Still running.
