E60 – How This Civil Engineer Went From Accidental Landlord To 1600 Units

When you make your first investment you can go through a myriad of emotions. The excitement, nervousness, and anticipation may seem overwhelming at times. As you become more prepared and knowledgeable about investing, your anxieties will diminish. Today our guest is one who has gone through many transitions as an investor. His story and background could perhaps be one you can relate to, and will possibly help you in your future investments.
