P.R.I.M.E - Placement of ad, Review social media, Identify tenant's personality type, Measure responsiveness, Ensure proof of income.
And on top of all of this.... Ryan is a practicing pharmacist who became a millionaire at age 28!

Along with growing his property management company, Rozenberg has flipped, owned, and wholesaled hundreds of single-family homes and apartment complexes across the US.
He's a master of building and scaling businesses and shows you exactly how you can follow his blueprint. You'll learn about the 4 pillars of every business and what you should outsource first.

July 27, 2022 Traveling the World for Free by House Sitting | Britt Sharman
Today's episode features Brittnay Sharman, creator of The Travelling House Sitters.
After hearing about housesitting from a friend Brittnay decided to give it a go while still living in London.
She didn’t mind that it was just down the road from her flat, or that it was only for 1 week, she just wanted to test the waters and gain some experience before diving deep into it.
It was a success -- she loved it!
She had a few months before her visa expired in the UK so she decided to head over to Ireland while she decided what to do next.
After discovering that the rental situation was really crazy in Dublin, she decided to house-sit her way around Dublin while working full time.
Then in 2019, she house-sat across Thailand, Malaysia, and Turkey all within 3 months!
Later that year she'd add on Rome, Montenegro, Greece, Croatia, and more.
2020 was mostly Australia and New Zealand for Brittnay. I think we all know 2020 cut a lot of folks' travel plans but still two awesome locations.
You can imagine the thousands of thousands of dollars she saved all while visiting places likely on your bucket list.
She did all of this while working and enjoying countries slowly, sometimes for up to a year in the same location!

July 20, 2022 Fire the Haters and Create Content Online | Jillian Johnsrud
Today's episode features Jillian Johnsrud, author of Fire The Haters.
We actually featured Jillian once prior on our show in Episode 68.
In that episode, we cover Jillian's background (quick recap below):
Jillian got married at age 19
She saw from an early age that money gave you options
They started off their marriage with $55k worth of debt
From the start, they always stuck to a goal to save 50%
They made some difficult choices like living in a camper or roommates
They would end up investing and buying rentals
This would lead them to be financially independent at age 32
We also discussed her Everyday Courage podcast.
Now, she's keeping the courage theme going by inspiring others to put out their thoughts, help, concerns....life on the internet despite the trolls that hide behind every digital corner.
Jillian walks us through who to listen to and who not to. Where you should focus your energy, and what will just be a waste of time.
Most of us have something we put out into the world even if we're not writers, and with that comes criticism.
Today's episode is the perfect guide to navigating our critical world.

July 06, 2022 Putting Businesses on Autopilot | Ryan Pineda
Today's episode features Ryan Pineda, a serial entrepreneur who runs six 7-8 figure businesses.
For most of Ryan's life, he was sure that he'd be a professional baseball player.
And for a while, Ryan was right.
But after years in AAA and professional baseball, Ryan finally gave up on that dream.
Along the way, he had unknowingly been building skills to create his dream life.
His first business was flipping couches -- to the tune of $8k+ per month.
All that time in different parts of the neighborhood gave him a great feel for the local real estate economy.
Before you know it, Ryan was flipping houses and refining his systems.
Today, those systems allow him to scale and make millions annually from multiple businesses.

June 29, 2022 From YouTube to an 8-Figure Business | Aleric Heck
Today's episode features Aleric Heck, the creator of Ad Outreach.
It all began when 12-year-old Aleric started making YouTube videos in 2009 with a camcorder.
At that time, he was just reviewing mobile apps but even that would go on to make $120k per year in 2015.
Aleric didn't stop with just an app review channel though.
He decided to go into the ads space on YouTube and turned that into a 6-figure business in 2017.
That business, Ads Outreach, took off like a rocket and crossed the million-dollar annual revenue mark in 2019!
Fast forward to today and Aleric is on pace for an 8-figure revenue year, that's over $10M!
Aleric takes us through his entire journey with tips along the way on how to best utilize YouTube and YouTube ads.

June 21, 2022 Investing in Water | Riggs Eckelberry
Today's episode features Riggs Eckelberry, the CEO of Origin Clear.
Riggs grew up the son of an international businessman.
He also had a natural draw towards making the world a better place and joined a Non-profit right out of high school.
Then in the early 80s, he followed his passion for technology and started his very own tech company in New York.
Riggs eventually sold that to one of his sales reps but didn't let that stop his business journey.
After some high-level executive positions, he eventually became a CEO in the mid-2000s for what would become a major disruptor in the water industry.
This company, which Riggs is still the CEO of today, is called Origin Clear.
Today, there is a growing need for water independence as central infrastructure fails and populations migrate to secondary cities.
Origin Clear answers that call with their Water On Demand initiative which allows everyday investors to invest directly in productive water projects, thereby enabling businesses and communities to pay for only the water they use with no upfront capital required.
End-users simply sign a long-term service contract, with regional water companies providing expert support.
Innovative OriginClear modular systems are licensed to builders to standardize the fleet, leaving zero “new technology” risk as only proven technologies, systems, and methods are implemented.
