    #221 – Jorge Sanchez: The Immigrant Mindset that Built a Chicago Empire

    Jorge Sanchez, founder of Fargo Construction, has spent more than two decades developing new construction multi-unit buildings across Chicago, helping reshape neighborhoods like Pilsen. His journey began as a young boy who left home in Mexico, eventually making his way to Chicago and starting in paving and construction.  After the 2009 real estate crash forced him to reinvent his business, Jorge pivoted into development and turned adversity into opportunity. Today his paving company operates across multiple states while his construction business continues breaking ground on projects throughout Chicago — a testament to the resilience and vision behind the immigrant mindset.   0.00:    Going through the Cycles in Real Estate as a Developer 5.00:    Leaving home in Mexico at ten years old 10.00:  Why the idea of "retirement" doesn't appeal to Jorge 15.00:  The long-term play of being committed to an area 21.00:  Why you need to give real estate time 34.00:  The two sides of immigration and ICE protests         45.00:  Why tax strategies in real estate are so important 52.00:  The best way to get into New Construction Development 57.00:  Expanding your business to massive paving projects around the country 1.04.00:  Jorge's neighborhood to watch (Fuller Park) 1.10.00:  Challenges to building based on labor shortages 1.12.00:  Why the future is 3D Printing and robot's building 1.18.00:  Why you must always move with the economy and the changing times Check out the latest episode here: Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/enter-the-lionheart/id1554904704 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4tD7VvMUvnOgChoNYShbcI
