On Colin Podcasts Show 15, we interview Matt Bowles from the Maverick Investor Group. Matt has been a full-time digital nomad since 2013 and incredibly, he has run a successful real estate business from 65 different countries in the last 7 years! While being a digital nomad is not for everyone, Matt has some brilliant ideas and insights on how people can increase their wealth and improve their lifestyles by creating location independent income streams. Matt is also the host of The Maverick Show podcast where he interviews real estate investors, entrepreneurs and world travelers.  

This was a fascinating conversation which covered:

• Matts early house hacking while working for a non profit
• Getting fired at age 30 and starting a new business
• How he helps investors find turnkey properties
• Insights into his nomad lifestyle and experiences
• The types of entrepreneurs he meets on his travels
• The four ways people can build location independent incomes

And much more!

We welcome Aundrea Newbern to Colin Podcasts Show 14. Aundrea spent most of her career in the corporate world and caught the real estate bug just a few years ago in 2016.

During our conversation we also discussed:

• How Aundrea worked two jobs to get through college
• The problems faced by many students graduating in 2008
• Spending a year studying in Liverpool
• Having to start her career again in 2012

• How he has always juggled multiple businesses during his career
• How he used creative financing to build a portfolio with little or no money
• How investors and realtors used the MLS before computers were around

We welcome Ryan Chaw from California to Colin Podcasts Show 8. Ryan is a full time pharmacist who has built an impressive rental portfolio ($10k+ per month in rental income) through hard work, disciplined saving and smart marketing at a very young age. 

Ryan was inspired become a real estate investor by his grandfather who had bought properties in the San Francisco Bay Area back in the 50s. The rental income he earned not only allowed him to retire early but it also helped cover his grandchildren’s’ college tuitions.   

During our conversation we also discussed:

• How Ryan was inspired to follow in his grandfathers footsteps
• The big mistakes he made with his first deal and the lessons learned
• How he created strong cash flowing rentals in a notoriously overpriced state
• His strategy for managing 18 tenants while working a full time job

Today’s guest is Reed Goossens, an Australian entrepreneur who moved to the US in 2012 without a job, with no established network and no family members for support. Since then, and following a rocky start in real estate with a $38,000 duplex in a very rough area, he has built up a multi family syndication empire in Austin Texas with more than 2000+ units! He is also a two time best selling author and host of the "Investing in the US podcast". Reed has a hell of a story to tell and I think you're going to love it. 

Reed & I had a wide ranging discussion which covered:

• His early life and career 
• How he ended up working in super yachts & the London 2012 olympics
• How he started a career in New York and slowly branched into real estate
• How expats view the opportunities in the US differently to Americans
• How Reed developed the specific skills needed for large multi family investing
• The pros and cons of investing individually vs in a syndication
• The importance of mentors and how to find them

And much more!

Today’s guest is Lee Kearney, one of the nations most successful single family real estate investors. Incredibly, Lee has bought/sold 7,000+ properties in the past 16 years and owns multiple businesses throughout the country. 

I've met Lee several times over the years and have always been impressed at how he built and scaled an incredibly profitable real estate business in an industry dominated by Mom & Pop firms.

• The hard lessons Lee learned during the 2008 crash
• Why Lee sold 95% of his personal portfolio in the last 18 months
• Why real estate prices have been increasing during the last 4 months
• Why Lee thinks there could be twice as many foreclosures in 2021 compared to 2008
