On this week's episode, Avery is joined by Matt Krueger. Matt shares his journey from working dead-end jobs to becoming a full-time real estate investor with a portfolio of 11 properties across Iowa. He dives into his strategies for blending long-term and short-term rentals, financing deals creatively with home equity lines of credit, and how local market knowledge has been the key to his short-term rental success—despite data platforms showing low market scores. Matt also emphasizes the importance of sacrifice, perseverance, and strategic risk-taking in building long-term wealth through real estate.
