Aaron Ameen: From Addiction Recovery to Getting Married in Backyard to Remote Real Estate Investing

This episode of the Hybrid Real Estate Professional Podcast features a candid conversation recorded live on X (formerly Twitter) Space with the enigmatic @ThouShillNot. Dive deep into the world of long-distance real estate investments, where I peel back the layers of my personal journey—overcoming addiction, embracing sobriety, and building a life of purpose through property investment. Discover how my wife and I turned a simple wedding decision into a cornerstone for financial freedom and how we manage a thriving portfolio from afar. Learn the intricacies of remote property management, the art of setting sensible boundaries, cultivating positive landlord-tenant dynamics, and my take on navigating the ever-evolving landscape of home values.
