He discusses his integration of small business ownership—including a flooring company and home installation franchise—to support his real estate operations and cash flow strategy. Vince also dives into the EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) framework that he uses to manage his six companies, how he structures L10 meetings across them, and his evolving investment thesis—shifting from C-class value-add to newer, higher-quality multifamily assets in DFW.
