How Did You Get Started in Real Estate?

Hey Guys! Continuing our theme of interviewing anonymous accounts, this week’s guest is @PinkPoloShorts. Our conversation focus on Real Estate investing since that is @PinkPoloShorts area of expertise. 

He shared with us how he got into Real Estate after trying to become a professional baseball player, his Real Estate career, what he thinks about Airbnb renting as a business, the most common mistakes that retail investors do, underwriting 101, the future on Real Estate and his opinion on Redfin, and how he levered his knowledge on private Real Estate and apply it to public Real Estate. 

So if you are interested in Real Estate investing definitely tune in and if you are not I would still listen since there is a lot of application than you can take from Real Estate and transpose them on other areas like the Public Markets. Enjoy!
