In this episode of The Hybrid Real Estate Professional Podcast, I'm thrilled to sit down with Jarrod Ochsenbein, an inspiring investor balancing a demanding W2 job, family, and a growing real estate portfolio. Jarrod’s story is a masterclass in creative investing and the power of community support.

In less than two years, Jarrod has built an impressive portfolio, starting with a unique co-living, or “rent by room,” strategy in Arizona. By sharing his journey openly, Jarrod shows us how thinking outside the box and leveraging tax strategies can transform the typical path of real estate investing.
