Joe Felz, a Georgia-born real estate investor, entrepreneur, and social media influencer known for founding Felz Investment Group, has died at the age of 40. His death was announced by his partner in a statement shared on social media. No cause of death has been publicly disclosed.
The announcement came on Monday after news of Felz’s passing began circulating online.
“With word rapidly spreading, I wanted to put out a formal statement,” his partner wrote. “Joe Felz has left this earth and has finally found his free.”
She added, “I don’t have many words right now, but I ask that you please give myself, Joe’s family, and all of his loved ones the space and time needed to process a loss of this magnitude.”
As of now, neither Felz’s family nor representatives have released additional details regarding the circumstances of his death.
A Career Built in Real Estate
Felz founded Felz Investment Group in 2011, building the company around buying, renovating, and reselling residential and commercial properties. Over the years, he expanded his business interests into other ventures, including solar energy and custom van conversions.
He also became widely known on social media, where he shared home renovation projects, real estate investing strategies, and do-it-yourself construction content. His videos attracted a large audience, with more than 700,000 followers on Instagram.
In 2024, Felz appeared on The Titanium Vault podcast hosted by RJ Bates III, where he discussed the growth of his business portfolio. During the interview, he said he operated a wholesaling and acquisitions company, managed a real estate investment fund, and owned approximately 65 rental and investment properties.
From Prison to Entrepreneurship
Felz frequently spoke about his past and the challenges he faced before becoming a successful entrepreneur. According to information published on his website, he was an eight-time convicted felon who served time in prison.
He often described his journey as one of redemption, saying he left prison with just $50 before gradually building multiple businesses through real estate investing and entrepreneurship. His story became a central theme of his public speaking and online content, where he encouraged others to rebuild their lives despite setbacks.
Life in Costa Rica
In recent years, Felz had relocated to Costa Rica, where he was living with his partner, Alxzondra, who also creates online content focused on bus conversions and alternative living. Public information about the couple’s family life has been limited, and it is unclear whether they had children.
Tributes Flood Social Media
News of Felz’s death prompted an outpouring of tributes from followers, fellow entrepreneurs, and members of the real estate community. Many expressed shock over his death at such a young age and reflected on the impact his educational content had on their lives.
One supporter wrote, “This is extremely sad. You had so much knowledge to give the world. This is a terrible loss. Rest in peace, Joe.”
Another follower shared that they had been inspired by Felz’s content for over a year and struggled to process the news, describing his death as sudden and unexpected while expressing condolences to his family and loved ones.
As messages of remembrance continue to pour in across social media platforms, many have highlighted Felz’s willingness to share his experiences, both personal and professional, and the encouragement he offered to aspiring investors and entrepreneurs.
At this time, no official cause of death has been announced, and the family has requested privacy as they grieve. Additional information may be released as it becomes available.
