This episode shares an interview of Josiah Smelser on the Real FI podcast and shares his journey from a cubicle job to a $4 million real estate portfolio using the BRRRR strategy of buying distressed properties, renovating them, and converting them into long-term rentals. Josiah's business transitioned from a $4 million single-family home portfolio to six+ vacation rentals, yielding $600,000 annual cash flow, allowing Josiah to achieve financial independence. The switch was smooth, leading to increased cash flow, aided by 1031 exchanges. Advice is given to consider larger cabins for this niche, though opportunities may be scarce. Resources like books, podcasts, and networking are recommended for success in the short-term rental market. The importance of real estate appraisal as a growing field is also discussed.

YouTube Channel - ⁠⁠https://youtube.com/@DailyRealEstateInvestor⁠⁠  The current state of the housing and commercial markets is mostly frozen, but I don't think we're going to see an implosion of the residential market over the next year. The Federal Reserve has hiked interest rates at the fastest clip in the history of the United States, which has led to a depleted amount of homes for sale and fewer real estate transaction taking place. Short-term rentals are not the current problem with the housing market, and they're actually a solution for people looking for a more customizable private vacation experience for their family.

YouTube Channel - Daily Real Estate Investor - ⁠https://youtube.com/@DailyRealEstateInvestor⁠  Daniel Kong was able to reach financial freedom and quit his W-2 job within only 3 years of starting real estate investing. How did he do it? Daniel did it by taking a leap of faith and starting and then building his systems to scale. Daniel used several personal lines of credit and borrowed from his 401K to get started in the Indianapolis market. Daniel currently lives in Hawaii and invests in both Hawaii and in other states in the US. Michael Gerber's book, "The E-Myth Revisited," talks about setting up systems that allow you to scale your business. Daniel Kong’s system includes hiring for different roles and empowering his team to help generate investment capital to buy bigger commercial deals. Spending too much time worrying about safety can stunt your growth, but once you've hit a point where you believe you can do better financially, it's time to make the leap.
