How much money should we bring along? 

So how will we get to our new destination?

It was a great year with Ruth...and the team considers their options.

Join Joe, Crystal and Neighbor Doug on a nostalgic look back at key insights from past episodes, from real estate investing strategies to life-changing guest interviews. The team shares their favorite moments and lessons, discusses the importance of mentorship, and underscores the value of community-oriented investing. They also leave listeners with the promise of a significant reveal and the possibility of a future pivot. Join the journey one more time as they celebrate 67 episodes of inspiring and educating on the intricacies of real estate.

On today's show we go back in time to our conversation with Whitney Hansen (Money Nerds podcast and AirBnB host). Whitney secured a competitive AirBnB grant to build--of all things--a home shaped like a flower pot! Today, that property has been built and is a huge hit. But back when we talked to Whitney construction was ongoing. She spoke with us about the process, challenges, and thrills of building a one-of-a-kind home. She also details her systems for finding renters, maintaining controls, and more.

Of course, this episode features a headline AND Doug's trivia, as usual! It's another great episode with Crystal, Joe, and heck, even Doug. 

Catie Lawrence is laser-focused on financial independence, and real estate has rocketed her toward that goal. Today we hear about Catie's journey from a 9-5 job outside of the real estate world to her transformation into full time real estate pro and investor. She'll talk about how she and her carpenter husband (handy to have on the team!) made the decision to first focus on real estate, and how she's developed strategies and systems to help her build her real estate empire. If you're wondering how you'll get started on your journey, Catie's a great mentor to help you take the plunge!

In our headline segment, big investment firms are investing in ONE segment of the real estate market heavily the last few months. What segment? Should you also jump in? We'll discuss real estate trends, how to spot potential winners, and when to stay away. 

Of course, we'll also feature Doug's property pop quiz about one American city with a HOT real estate market. Can you guess which one it is?
