Welcome back to the Passive Wealth Strategies show. Today we meet our guest David “David O” Ounanian and he’s going to share how he escaped the rat race, came up with the BRRRR method, and why you should invest in real estate.

 

David “David O” Ounanian is the Founder of My Agent Investor.  He was a full-time software engineer who spent over a decade climbing the corporate ladder only to be trapped in financial debt and living paycheck to paycheck before he became an active real estate investor.  He has dreamed of financial freedom for his wife and children and through real estate, he has made passive income a reality.  Beginning in investing is a challenge and David O is passionate about helping new and out of state investors become financially free while avoiding the mistakes that he made starting out.
