Creating thriving communities is Michael Barnhart and Suzy Sevier’s goal. They do this by adding value to their investments that will benefit the people who live in them in a multitude of ways, and their plan for the future is to build schools in third-world countries. In today’s episode, Suzy and Michael, who do everything together, explain how the COVID-19 catalyzed their entry into the world of real estate, and how the changes that have come about as a result of the pandemic have given them the freedom to work from anywhere.
