Episode notes

We're seeing is basically like high emotion sellers who are keeping the prices at high points, which is completely understandable. We've seen a lot of homes where the seller saw their neighbor down the street sell their house for half a million dollars and now they want $600,000 because every price is kept on going up. Until we see prices where it's a home that fits what we're looking for at the right prices, it's really hard to move on them.

Patrick Donley talks with Sean O’Dowd about why he thinks there is a better way to build wealth through starting a business and using the profits to buy real estate investments.

Sean graduated from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School and worked at Boston Consulting Group. He left behind this traditional path to success to take a bet on himself and built a one-man consulting shop and dumps all of his profits into real estate.
