From Real Estate to City Hall: Investing in Stronger Communities with Mike DelPrete

In this insightful episode of The Phoenix Prosperity Podcast, host Tim Fergestad sits down with Michael DelPrete, a dynamic real estate investor and community leader, to talk about the intersection of entrepreneurship, housing, and civic responsibility. Michael shares his journey from cubicle life to closing over 700 real estate deals, and how his early hustles in wholesaling turned into a career of community-centered investing.

As Executive Director of the Arizona Real Estate Investors Association (AZREIA), Mike gives us a behind-the-scenes look at how the organization supports investors statewide through education, networking, and advocacy. We also hear about his growing involvement in public policy and why he’s running for Phoenix City Council. Mike is a vocal advocate for attainable housing, better city planning, and bringing investor voices into political conversations that directly impact them.

Whether you're a real estate pro, aspiring investor, or someone who cares about strong, thriving neighborhoods—this conversation will spark ideas and provide inspiration for making a bigger impact.
