Capital Hacking E366: Hawaii Lessons & Real Estate For Freedom with Mike Neubauer
In this episode of Capital Hacking, we had the pleasure of welcoming Mike Neubauer, a remarkable individual with an inspiring journey from homelessness to becoming a firefighter and achieving financial freedom through real estate.
Mike shared his incredible story of moving to Maui with no money, no job, and no plan, driven solely by his dream to live in Hawaii. He recounted his experiences of being homeless on the beach and how he eventually became a firefighter, a role he held for ten years. During this time, he discovered the world of real estate investing, which ultimately led him to financial independence.
We delved into Mike's real estate journey, discussing how he started with house hacking and gradually built a portfolio of short-term rentals. He emphasized the importance of finding focus and prioritizing tasks, drawing parallels between firefighting and real estate investing. Mike also shared insights into the unique challenges and opportunities of investing in Hawaii's real estate market, where properties can be quite expensive.
Additionally, we explored Mike's new venture, "Our Family Invests," where he aims to educate others on real estate and personal development, alongside his wife, Caroline. Their partnership in both life and business is a testament to their shared vision and commitment to helping others achieve their dreams.
As we wrapped up the episode, Mike offered valuable advice for aspiring investors and highlighted the importance of following one's dreams, even when the path is uncertain. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to be inspired by a true success story and learn practical strategies for real estate investing.
