Hoan Thai joins Erik to discuss what triggered his interest in real estate and how he learned about the BRRRR method before it was actually called that. We also break down his “fire-aim-ready” philosophy. Thai explains how this led him to helping people bridge the gap between banks and hard money loans and how he convinced the banks to create a referral system for him so he could help others. We also learn some insight into the often misunderstood world of life insurance and how you can benefit from things that are normally reserved for the rich.
