How Did You Decide to Invest in Real Estate?

Ava and her boyfriend Ben decided to invest in real estate together. Ava: "I was more of the boss, but he was willing to do any of the work that I needed him to like help me with" After three months of cold calling for hours on end, they got a deal under contract. The couple split their first investment 50-50 after figuring out financing. They then used couch flipping to make money by cleaning up Craigslist couches.

Episode notes

$900K in real estate at age 17!? That can’t be possible! If you’re feeling shocked, join the club because today’s episode is something that’ll leave you more fired up than ever before. We talk to Ava Yuergens, a high schooler who’s purchased more real estate than most full-grown adults. Without the ability to even get a credit card of her own, Ava has taken down almost a million dollars in real estate, all thanks to creative financing, hard work, and a determination to build wealth no matter what. Want to repeat her road to success? Stick around!

Like most young entrepreneurs, Ava caught the cash flow bug after reading Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad Poor Dad. This classic book opened her eyes to the world of income-producing assets, catapulting her toward the topic of real estate investing. She was up early before school, reading how to invest, where to find off-market deals, and how to finance a property when you have no full-time income. With some thoughtful planning and serious due diligence, Ava was able to close on not one but two rental properties before graduating high school.

And whether you’re fifteen, twenty-five, or fifty, Ava’s advice is useful for ANY real estate investor in ANY stage of life. She walks through exactly how to find your first real estate deal, getting comfortable with an investing strategy, bringing in partners and funding (when you don’t have the cash), and turning your small side hustles into massive streams of income. With this type of mindset, we know we’ll be hearing back from Ava very soon.
