Dedric & Krystal Polite share how they built a real estate empire, landed a Hulu TV show, and created a wealth education platform for new investors.
In this episode of RealDealChat, Jack sits down with Dedric & Krystal Polite, stars of Hulu’s 50/50 Flip and founders of Polite Wealth Portal, to discuss their journey from 9–5 jobs to becoming respected real estate investors, educators, and TV personalities.
