Andrew invites his lovely wife, Michelle, on the podcast to talk about her journey with real estate and why she’s so passionate about it. At the time, she had no idea she’d quit her full-time job and jump feet-first into real estate. As Andrew and Michelle began thinking about how many homes they should own and would later pass down to their children, they realized they didn’t just have to stop at owning one home. Michelle walks down memory lane in this episode and offers advice for first-time investors trying to get their feet wet in this industry.
