We’re excited to announce that Ross McArthur, Co-Founder of Follow The Deal, was featured on the Going Long podcast with host Billy Keels in an episode titled “The Importance of Being Able to Follow The Deal For Investing Success.” This episode offers a powerful look into Ross’s journey from corporate executive to real estate investor, and how he’s using his background to help others create legacy wealth through real estate.
In this wide-ranging and insightful conversation, Ross shares how he transitioned from the tech and software world into full-time real estate investing—building a portfolio of over 700 units, launching a high-volume flipping business, and creating opportunities for investors through group syndications. He opens up about the principles that guide his work, including the philosophy behind Follow The Deal, the power of trust (and the necessity of verifying), and how strategic team-building has been critical to scaling his impact.
Listeners will also get a peek into Ross’s personal world—like the most meaningful thing he did this week (hint: it involves his dad), his favorite travel destination in Europe, and the book that’s inspiring him right now. Whether you’re a busy professional dreaming of passive income or already neck-deep in your investing journey, this episode is packed with wisdom and real-world strategies you can apply today.
