Newbie Investor Podcast

[Jacob Lapp]

Hey Everyone,

This is a long one but I have some exciting news so bear with me!

I am 24 with 2 multifamily deals under my belt (5-units total) and am itching for the next one. I got my real estate license and bought my first property at 22. I started a painting business in school which gave me the capital to start out. I still work full-time in the oil and gas industry. But realistically see the ability to “retire” or not need to rely on a paycheck within the next few years.

Growing up poor I didn’t know anything about finances. I thought living paycheck to paycheck until you are 65 was how this life thing worked. But through countless hours of audiobooks, podcasts and this community here I have been able to completely change the direction of my life for the better.

I’m the farthest thing from an expert and would still consider myself to be a newbie. However, as a young person I’ve been able to change my perspective on finances and match my lifestyle accordingly. Whether by living way below my means, creating a gap between what everyone else is doing and what is responsible, to saving costs as a new landlord by doing everything myself and much more. I feel obligated to share the little bit of knowledge I have with everyone I can, who may have never thought this path to be possible.

Through the “Young Slumlord Podcast” (by listening to the show or by knowing me or my cohost Caleb you will find out we are the farthest thing from Slumlords) but the name is aimed to serve as a little provocative. And I believe will get more attention from the demographic I am aiming to reach (highschool, and college kids) instead of the alternative “Building Wealth Through Real Estate”. By being authentic, talking how we talk without the restraint of being politically correct all the time. I think we can appeal to a larger audience then what is currently available.

Our podcast is focused towards the people like us just starting out and are willing to do whatever is necessary, through a side business, constant learning, to working 100+ hours a week all in order to achieve the attainable financial freedom Real Estate has to offer.

We just finished recording episode number 1 where we introduce ourselves, break down our first deals and the goals we have in life and for the podcast. I have met some people along the way who I think will make good guests but I am reaching out here to hopefully find some like minded people who support the mission and might be able to come talk on our show at some point.

We will be dropping the first episode in the next week or so on apple podcasts, spotify, google podcasts and youtube.
