- #repost: How Does a Busy Employee with 3 Young Kids Start Investing in Real Estate?
Welcome back to another episode of the Hybrid Real Estate Professional Podcast. This week, I'm going to share an interview I did recently on Michael Zuber's One Rental at a Time show. This one was particularly special for me as Michael has been a huge influence to me throughout my investing journey.
His philosophy of taking consistent daily action playing the long game and treating your job as an asset, not a liability, has been ingrained deep inside me and has become a core part of my approach. It was an honor to sit down on the other side of the mic and ask him some questions. This interview is only about 25 minutes long, but we cover a lot, especially about my early days as an investor.Hope you enjoy it.Reach out to Michael Zuber⤵︎Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/onerentalatatime/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OneRentalataTimeTwitter: twitter.com/ZuberGoToMarketWebsite: onerentalatatime.com28 min - Building Wealth with Real Estate: AJ Smith on Partnerships, Networking & Deal Analysis
