- In this video, Chandler talks about how this year has been one of the most sad, difficult, and challenging ones he’s ever experienced. From his wife and brother being diagnosed with cancer, to changes in work and relationships, it definitely hasn’t been easy. Despite all of this, Chandler recognizes his blessings and the great opportunities that have come about despite the hard times. Life is difficult no matter your circumstances, so we must choose our hard. So, in this video, Chandler wants to share what he is choosing to do from here on out to make his life hard, but with a growth mindset that will only help to make him a better husband, father, friend, and mentor.
Investing in real estate for the last 10 years, Chandler David Smith currently owns over $25 million worth of rental real estate. During this time, he has had some great experiences being able to share his passion alongside his family and buddies. He has seen them absolutely crush it when it comes to the investing and sales world. More importantly, he has been able to share his expertise with others and learned invaluable lessons along the way.
Chandler dives DEEP into all of the ins-and-outs of his financial success and challenges - working hard, learning sales and real estate skills, and the trials that come despite the success he was able to achieve. Keep in mind that there are A LOT of unknowns when you take a step into the real estate world - things fall through the cracks and honestly, anything could happen. But - this is life! When you take the proper steps that Chandler teaches here, you CAN mitigate your chances so that you will be taking the smallest risk with the highest return possible!

Volunteer at a nursing home. Spent time with a man who's lived his life. Ask that 90 year old man what really matters in life. It's eye opening.
Dam.. I just might do that.
Bleh depends on the old man core values dude. I’ve volunteered before and yikes some of those dudes have …. Yeah let me leave it there.
@@builttolaughgood point
Just came here to see this video after you posting about your wife’s passing on Instagram. Can’t fathom what you are going through right now. Praying for you and your family right now
I'm so sorry for your loss. Maddy was such a vivacious woman. Prayers for you, your children, and your family. 🙏
“What would it profit a man if he gains the whole world and yet loses his own soul? What will a man give in exchange for his soul?” - Jesus
Are you talking about him specifically losing his own soul I'm not understanding what you're trying to say. I guarantee you he would give up his home his cars and every penny he has to have his beautiful wife back. He hasn't sold anything he's extremely hard-working and intelligent. And jealous people tend to say things like that just in case you were talking about him you weren't clear about your intent or in what direction you're saying it
You can always depend on the religious to have no compassion, no empathy and no decency.
@@landonhardbottom6668 I'm a Christian although I'm not a Bible beater if that makes any sense I know it sounds tacky but in layman's terms that's basically the truth. Not all religious people are like this person. Quick story though I'm in the Bible belt on my street there's five churches I kid you not. A friend of mine their son passed away so I went to all five churches to ask if they can help me I was doing a fundraiser if they have any elderly woman who would be willing to say just bake a cake, Duncan Hines cake it doesn't matter. All five churches said yeah will call you don't call us. And that really left a bad taste in my mouth. I single-handedly pulled off a huge benefit but with no credit from a church! I can understand one or two churches but all five? I spoke to the pastors directly. I know they're not all bad these Pastors & churches but it leads me to believe that there's a lot of bad ones!
@@landonhardbottom6668 what about my statement lacked empathy?
Priorities in this order will lead to a more fulfilled life(and most importantly a blessed life after this life)
1) Faith in Christ(A living and saving faith)
2) Family
3) Work work and all other things.
Good luck and God bless your journey!
Chandler…. Just watched this vid after the painful yet amazing one about dear Maddy.
The juxtaposition between the two is incredibly powerful in it’s authenticity and evolution.
When the time is right, more of this is what the world needs.
How do we make ourselves better humans?
How do we beat the struggle?
Like you said everyone deals with something. Once in a while that something is so devastating we can’t fathom how we’ll be able to keep ourselves intact.
I know I can be a very successful professional.
A very loving father.
A caring husband.
A loyal friend.
And a decent real estate investor.
But I often struggle with doing all of those things together, all the time.
I sometimes struggle with even wanting to be those things at all, when life beats me down.
I bet What you shared in this video rings more true now than it did when you shot it.
About Choosing Your Hard, front loading your pain, and working on your mindset.
Easier said than done right?
So a series idea as you emerge from your battle like a phoenix is an authentic view of how you are regaining purpose, drive and happiness after being dealt such a blow. How your family time changed? Where you are falling down. How you improve. And how’d you coach others in similar situations.
I value the real estate and car content too. But what your audience values most about you is your authenticity. That’s why you’re uniquely positioned for something like this.
The failures. The triumphs. The tears. The laughs. That’s what lots of souls need right now; I’d wager yours included.
And the series should of course be called Choose Your Hard.
Best of luck to you CDS.
Thank you for this comment. This is exactly it - I really hope he takes the approach going forward of sharing his authentic experience of working through this, doesn’t feel pressure to seem falsely uplifted or too “motivational” but rather, to share his heart first. And reality.
And if that is too vulnerable I hope he just takes time to himself. I can’t imagine how much pain he is going through, losing such an incredible human being.
Sending Chandler all my love. ❤️🩹
This is actually so crazy because I feel the same way for myself this past year. I have already planned to make a similar video. From the outside everything may look good to everyone, but there’s been a lot of struggles on the inside. I’ll be doing something similar and documenting more of my journey to be accountable as well as making next year even harder. Thank you for sharing Chandler!
This is inspiring, Chandler! That instead of succumbing to fear and negativity you still managed to step back and see things from a different, yet better perspective. This is what everyone needs to see. There are always great things to look forward to despite what we're going through. Sending prayers and love to your family!
Thanks a lot for this video man, last year was a tough year for me aswell and you couldnt of said it better. The hardest is to stay positive when getting hit with negative events left and right. Always looking forward to your videos. Keep your head up, I bealive you will kill it this year and thanks for the challege. This year is going to be a great year!!!
You can't understand how much I needed to hear the advice and how you put it in this video. Been failing, and just all I want to do at times is go to bed, and hope the next day is magically better like it's a nightmare you can wake up from, but in my case, some of the nightmare is manageable and needs to be faced or everyone around me also suffers. DIALING IN ... on a side note, I did a 40 day fast once with a friend who was very strong as well, it was a great test for us both. Finding limits is my happy place and I need to do that more and more.
Keep you’re head up Chandler. Sorry you’re going through all you are. Been watching you for years and you inspire me a lot man. Hope you know all the good you do and prayers are going out to you👏🏼
Chandler, this was a great video! Thank you for being so open and sharing your struggles! It has been so awesome to work with you and get to know you this summer! I really appreciate your kindness and our friendship! I'm excited to see everything coming next year!
Speedy recovery to your wife and brother...Thanks for sharing Chandler🏌♂️
Chandler you are such a gift to share your life struggles & victories. Your passion to educate others is brilliant & so needed.✌🏼💞⭐
I cant explain how much i needed to hear everything you said and especially now.!! I have been in this viscous cycle of dwelling over how things are falling apart and that its one thing after another keeps happening and knocking down any progress i might have made. I wasnt able to see how my thoughts have been focused on the negitive aspects which might be why i have this constant feeling of doom and even when i am spending time with my kids i am unable to enjoy those valuble moments bc Im so focused on all the negitive . Dont get me wrong i have financially struggled from day 1 of becoming a single mom but i was still able to enjoy my kids and make the most of what i had. This last year its been one thing after another putting me deeper into a hole I might never climb out of if i dont change my thought process. I wasn't even realizing that might be why i have that constant feeling if doom. I want to do all i can to give my kids a good life and don't want them to feel stressed bc of me. I want them to learn good thought habits instead of bad ones. Maybe now ill recognize when im focusing on the negitive instead of whats most important .
SORRY ITS SO LONG.
I came upon this utube channel. And it really taught me a lesson. Me & my children lost everything we owned material wise. I have really been going through it. Watching Mr. Smith's(Chandler) videos and definitely made me realize how fortunate I am. I am sooooo sorry for your loss Chandler! I am praying 🙏🏻 for you and your family. Maddy is definitely in heaven watching over you & your family!
Love you brother. The bad part about UA-cam is people don’t get to see enough of how kind and generous you are (on top of being a great dad and husband). People might hate you if they could see how good of a human you are on top of how you are conquering the world 😂 Let’s kill it this next year 🔥
Chandler is such a cool guy! It's been so cool to get to know him this year! Glad you're doing good!!
No way you just called this nigga kinda and generous lmao
Landlords can't be generous or kind
@@mountainjewsI think you misread this one son.. Go back and re read. Try again please or just keep that elsewhere. Preciate ya lil bro
@@zachguthrie2498 you’re calling a landlord kind and generous 💀
I needed this video, hope you overcome all adversities, and find serenity in all things you can’t change
Chandler! Very good video my man! Way to share your struggles and your heart! Tough year and glad to see you getting vulnerable!
To paraphrase what your wife said. “Live life for your children,and then you will start living life for yourself.” Sounds as if you have started to do this. Maddie is so proud of you. You have lived through the worse season of your life. This is a new season. Be kind,make good choices. Learned this from The POG Family
FIRE Real Estate investor here. Try this: Every year I run for 100 days straight. I start with 1 mile, then 1,5 mile, then 2-3 miles the last 30 days. It is truly amazing how focused and how much better I feel during the 100 days. Much love from Denmark, brother :)
That's good to hear from you. Thanks for being vulnerable. I'm going thru the same kinda thing in my life.
Chandler, one thing that helps when i start into negative self-talk, dwelling on the bad things. Think about what you're grateful for. Your health, your kids, your wife & brother coming out on top from cancer. It's impossible to be negative when in the mindset of gratitude.
Get a sitter and take a 5 day vacation with your beautiful wife to celebrate her healing and record it!! Blessings to you both I love your personality you have a great ❤️
She passed away 😢
I love the 10 day fast idea! That will be hard! I’ve only done a 5 day, and man was that shaky towards the end. Don’t get into a negative mental spiral with that and you’ll get it done! ❤
How wonderful for you to find self awareness!! Also just found ur Chanel and enjoying it!also very sad to hear if your beautiful wife’s passing 🥲
Be careful with burning yourself out brother but this video was really amazing to me. This year has been the hardest of my life but slowly realizing I’am not a sad story.
Hey Chandler, thanks for sharing. We are all in this together. I hope your wife and brother fully recover, but also yourself. Here's a few things that have helped me, with still lots of work to do.
1) productivity
2) limited social media made a huge difference
3) totally upto you... becoming closer to Church and God.
4) controlling all anger and negative thoughts.
5) not really a choice... but having kids really can push some limits and make you self reflect.
6) charity and giving back.
Good luck man, I wish the best for you. 🙂
I can relate. Felt like I was in a funk and couldn’t explain it. You hit the nail on the head on how I was feeling. Great video. You’re a genuine dude.
Hey Chandler, sorry to hear about these hard times. It sounds tough but I really appreciate you sharing this. I just wanted to drop a couple ideas that really help me out personally.
1. It looks like you already work out but working out in the morning does wonders for my motivation and level of energy and happiness. My favorite routine is waking up, slamming a protein shake and hitting the gym before going to work. It leaves a sense that you have already accomplished something for rest of the day.
2. Diet can help a lot. I notice when I eat unhealthy I don't feel as happy as when I am eating right. There are a lot of different diets you could try to challenge yourself. One of my friends tries different diets just to see what they do to his body and mind. Could be interesting.
3. This is kind of a strange one... but studying philosophy is very helpful to me lol. There are a lot of thinking we do at a surface level and philosophy allows you to dive beneath the surface and really do some exploring with your mind. I got sucked into the philosophy of morals and ethics as well as the philosophy of epistemology (the distinguishing of justified belief from opinion) and it changed my world. It's a really good mind exercise and could also help with creating a solid foundation for your belief system which I believe is important for people to have an understanding of.
4. Music. I used to play music but I haven't for years. With that said, I still believe it could be challenging and meditative to learn an instrument well.
These sort of things may not be exactly what you are looking for but I thought I'd throw them out there just in case. Keep your chin up man... We're rooting for you!
Cold shower/meditation/ focusing on your breath are all things that can help you to feel the present moment and I find them really useful :)
Thank you for being real and raw. I sense your vulnerability is also one of your strong points as you use them as a motivational tool. You have a great character about the way you present yourself. I hope your wife and brother are doing better every single day.
Over the last several years I made several changes to get rid of the negative in my life. I loved my religion but it wasn’t making me happy any longer, I moved on and have found much more happiness being a spiritual person. I found serving others through volunteer services much more fulfilling. Money has never been an issue because I grind. I find when I make life fulfilling, I make it happen. I found my purpose. I left a good paying job for great paying job, one that allows more freedom and flexibility to my grind. I let a few close friends walk away . I don’t need negative people affecting my life. I found that fulfilling. I have the freedom of who I want to be around. I am glad you have good people around you.
Keep up the good work!
Absolutely awesome for you to be this transparent. I have cut back hustling as much and actually felt happier and more accomplished when I was busier🤷♂️ I’m in a rut but working myself out of it, iykyk right? Thanks for being a genuine person, I respect that more than anything you have done!
Thank you for being honest-Health is everything and love of A family is Everything,I’m so with you ❤❤❤❤❤
So sorry for your loss may she rest in peace.🙏
75 Hard.
If you are looking for something that will not only challenge you mentally, but also physically, do this program and change your life forever.
Bro I look forward to your progress and process. I was hearing defeating words in some of your videos. May God bless you in this journey.
Hey your awesome, praying for you and your family through these tough times. Keep that schedule and keep your eye’s towards our creator and our eternal goal. This will pass
Speaking from my battle brain cancer stage four lung and liver cancer and pancreatic cancer struggling to pay for pain meds . Don’t do the 10 day stop and love and enjoy your family while you have them start there
whew, i was scared to watch your recent videos because I haven't stopped to feel my feelings. My wife was diagnosed with breast cancer 6 months ago and we're about to finish the first round of chemo. Our kids are 6, 3, and 1.Thanks for helping me to actually feel.
You got this Chandler! You are admired and loved by many! ❤
This guy is a hard worker and everything he has he’s earned it! So the comments about shaming him about his material success are mean!!
Chandler you seem like a good person, you went through the hardest thing in life and I’m sure you more than any regular guy have learned that material things are great for enjoyment but I know you found out they are just that material things. I congratulate you for your hard work, and I pray you find the peace that only God can give. There is more to this life, your beautiful wife will be waiting for you on the other side. Since you already enjoy worldly things, would you give a chance to discover spiritual things that actually last forever? This is only temporary as you already know; God is close to the broken-hearted and if you look you’ll find him. You’ll know his will for you and your precious children; he’s got a gift for you, the gift of salvation through Christ. I’ll be praying for you …
“I run towards challenges because the only way to escape fear is to trample it beneath my feet”
I almost feel like this video was made for me. Been dealing with a lot of conflict trying to find my definition of happiness and how to obtain it. Great video thank you for making this
Great video!! Best of luck man you got This!!
I have found that an hour spent in reading the Bible and praying does wonders to my mental health. You have achieved financial success, which is a great thing. What you might be yearning for is spiritual strength, which is actually very crucial in keeping us grounded both in our sorrow and in our joy.
Hey Chandler! I doubt you’ll see this but I must shoot my shot!
I’ve lost over 120lbs thus far (385-265)
I’m still on my weight loss journey, have about another 80lbs to go and would love to take you along hopefully we can both learn something from each other while keeping each other accountable!
Nonetheless, keep pushing! You got this!
Zup Chandler, hope things will get better for you.
Stay strong!
Im very sorry about your wife. I lost my sister, dad, and cousin with caner. I have had a very bad year too. Wanting to give up never crossed my mind till last few months
Your transparency really speaks volumes. Great vid Chandler.
In My Opinion - 90% of your followers are probably people that have daily stinking thinking - no real goals set - no real vision - just a dream or wish of being financially free. I’d love to see content that shows what your doing from a daily habits standpoint, but concrete examples of what a “nobody” can do or what they should do or what you recommend they do on a daily,weekly,monthly,yearly basis to change their life. That would be helpful. Thanks for what you do!!!
Thank you ! God bless you
I scaled from 0 to 90 units without partners so I really respect how Chandler scaled his portfolio without any other investors. The hustle and growth mindset is great, but does burn you out after a while. Sometimes it is great to just slow down and smell the roses. What I am going through now, but haven't hit FIRE yet.
One activity I have picked up recently which has been incredibly life changing has been Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The mental health benefit of training in BJJ is just starting to be discovered, and is likely related to the intense exercise, combined with the socialization and overcoming the challenge of it. I'm telling you, if you are looking for a major challenge that will help with anxiety and depression, BJJ is where it's at.
Definitely can relate. Keep being a great example to all of us!
U r an inspiring man who has walked the walk. Keep looking ahead.
Wish you the best Chandler. You are going through a really challenging time. Be strong. You are an inspiration for us just starting REI/house-hacking journey. Idea. What about creating a coaching weekly/biweekly call program with people? Maybe getting surrounded with likeminded people and help others achieve their dreams can be rewarding.
Great video. you've reminded me of what someone once said ❤ Your assets are your employees. Invest more on those performing well. Let the non-performers go
People prefer to spend money on liabilities,Rather than investing in assets and be very profitable.
You're so correct! Save, invest and spend for necessities and a few luxuries relatives to on's total assets ratio.l
This must be an investment with Mrs Maureen K carr
I invested in both stock and Cry ptő but I'm doing much better on Cry ptő with the favourable market price
Such a wonderful personality, you’re totally a genius with your work and you have the best options.thank you for your help Ms Maureen
I have made alot of good decisions in my life. Learning to regularly fast was one of the best. I would start with intermittent, then a 3 day and build up to 10. It could take awhile but rome wasn't built in a day either.
What is success? Not money. What you did to be in your wife’s life is amazing and glorious. Life is full of somm any shades that aren’t so black ande white. I only watched this video sus I just watched about your wife’s last year. The humility of the other video is in stark contrast to this.
It seems like he regrets stepping back from his business so he could support his dying wife.
The journey is the reward. Pain is inevitable, misery is optional.
I don't know if it works for everyone but I will give my feedback on this video. 1 in each 5 kids born in a developed contry. I am European so, I'm a lucky one. Thanks to Chandler and a couple other guys, I'm close to reach my financial independence. My thoughts, after that point is to go into one of these unlucky countries and give to someone the knowleage and the chance to succed as I did. It could be a selfish way to do something to sombody because at the end, i will be so satisfaied as the helped one or ones, but I will feel that I created some balance in this life. Those are just my thoughts...
I need to watch this everyday. Thank you for this video. Lets go BIG
Double down on those eternal truths- and remember: you were a big inspiration to me to get started in RE and I appreciate you
Best wishes for you and your family Chandler.
Dope!!!! Video!!!! Transparency 💪🏾🙏🏽
Chandler, pleeeeeeeeease don't do a 10-day fast!!! It can mess up your hormones, tank testosterone which is the hormone that you're using to be committed and focused, and has many other bad things that can happen because you're not obese. Try OMAD (one meal a day) if you're curious, but please don't starve yourself for no reason just because other people are doing it!
God bless from Poland a lot of pain in your life but Jesus love you .
He is with You
Spend time with your family and take care of your teeth is what elderly people often reflect back when they regret things about their life :)
I've been on the top of the mountain then been knocked down. Struggles are real regadless of your financial lot in life.
Today is August 7th 2023. I have followed you on Insta and youtube for a while now. I wanted this video 8 months ago and my heart went out to you and your family. You popped into my head again today and I thought, How is chandler and his family doing? They are probably in their new house by now. I looked on youtube and your last video was 8 months ago. I immediately got a pit in my stomach that something must have happened to you, Maddy, or your brother. I jumped on instagram and my fears were realized. I am SO SORRY BROTHER! I am so sorry! I am heartbroken for you. I am commenting on this video because of it's title. All I could think of was no brother, last year wasn't the hardest year of your life, this is year is going to be. It felt like I was looking through time and just wanted to scream STOP everything!!! I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm so sorry. :(
Great content Chandler. You should start doing new construction apartments. You can scale massive quickly.
Good luck brother with your endeavors & wishing your family best possible outcomes with everything. If I can be of assistance let me know.
Man, this sucks. Haven't followed the channel for quite some time. Condolences.
❤GOD BLESS YOU!❤
Paying for you Chandler!🙏🏼
You’re the man 💪🏼
Nice job Chandler
I want to see you incorporate polar plunges into your daily routine. If you can make yourself sit in an ice bath for 5 minutes you can make yourself do anything!
You know how to have happiness and fulfillment in your life? Find God, He is what’s missing. 🙏
You haven’t posted in a while 🙏🏻 hood things are looking up for you
Love you bro
We can always count on Chandler to say Myriad a myriad of times in each video 😂
Hey Chandler is there any way I could reach out to you and talk with you for like 5 mins ? I just need to talk to you for a sec
Epic
Rip Maddy
Try exercising with intermittent fasting- Thomas Delauer has a good channel that talks about it.
I challenge you to invest outside of Utah! Ask Yogi, he’ll know what I’m talking about ;)
My life is broken.
Lost my human if 36 years.
I do have a home and rental property.
🙏❤️❤️
Take couple days off spend it with your family you work so hard
Let’s gooooo
Thumbnail looks like whistling diesel 😁
11:11
Go into the forest with the intention of trying to live off the land. Obviously, keep a 72-hour emergency ration, but it should be a last resort.
NEXT YEAR WILL BE TERRIBLE, GOOD LUCK
All those riches. Yet your wife isnt by your side to enjoy it. I wouldnt swap lives for anything. Sorry for the loss of your beautiful wife.
I was just thinking when you said the cars etc are temporary highs.
You are filling your life with material wealth not the riches of God.
Until then, you'll never be satisfied or happy.
You will continue to try to fill the empty void inside you.
Oh man, seriously - FCK cancer. Good recovery to them!
Why would anyone think your life is so great if your wife is dying from cancer?
1st
HAHAHA! Alright sweet! One down! Couldn't have happened to a nicer family.
Sending you so much love you’re an amazing human being 🤍have faith it’s all for a higher purpose 🤍
