From being a part-time realtor since 2014, Aaron Powell became a full-time realtor in 2017. Prior to that, I was a financial advisor for about 10 years. Elena has been a veterinarian for 21 years. Together, their passion is to help make people's lives better.

Episode Highlights:

The Greatest Wealth Builder

Real estate investing is scary for a lot of people that aren't used to it. But it's the best wealth builder. Not only are you building wealth for yourself, but you’re also providing quality homes to people. It’s great to be investing in something that can make you proud. Everyone deserves a quality home but so many people can’t afford houses for themselves. So being able to create that opportunity to help provide quality homes to people is a great privilege in and of itself.

And it's ironic how people in it tend to lean towards helping themselves rather than helping their clients. It’s just all about making money.

The Synergy of a Dual Income Family

Elena admits she ain't much of a risk taker, but whenever there's passion, she just allows her partner to go with it, ultimately realizing it's a great deal and seeing the passive income starting to come in. With a steady income and benefits, minimizing the risk made Elena feel more comfortable to let Aaron expand his passion and grow from there because.
