Shortly after visiting the site, I discovered the podcast and I’ve fallen in love with listening to the guys on my drive(s) to/from work (literally started from episode one and slowly creeping up on 100) and have also graduated to purchasing & reading books from “Beardy Brandon” and Josh Dorkin (UBG, Book on Rental Property Investing, Tax Strategies for the Savvy REI + sprinkled in a little Kiyosaki).Anyhow, as part of my journey as an investment property owner in the Charlotte, NC market, I am now looking to grow my team.
