Show notes

Welcome to episode #15 of The Top Investor Podcast! On the show today is, just me! I am on vacation right now so I worried that if I brought on a guest that the audio might not be great so I figured I would do a solo episode. I took the opportunity to let you know a little more about my background and where I am at with everything. In the face of building the real estate investment platform Areii, I know I cant continue to invest in the kind of flips that I have been and doing the rehab myself. So If I want to continue building this platform to help others reach their goals in real estate investing, then I have to change my real estate investing strategy. So I discuss the ways I got started and how I'm thinking about things as I prepare to move into a different kind of real estate investing.
