Kevin ScanlanGUEST
yeah actually there was one one time so i had a youtube channel back then for technology stuff and one month i made six thousand dollars when i was 18 so i think i started just reading articles online i was like oh let me go see if i could get approved for a mortgage and at the time went to chase bank and ultimately they said like they were very confused what online income was at the time especially coming from youtube but they really confused why google is paying me money but ultimately i think i only got approved for like 70 000 I had interest at that point, but it wasn't until I would say 2017, 18 is really when I dove into real estate.
Kevin ScanlanGUEST
From doing research online, of course, found BiggerPockets and then just became obsessed with listening to different podcasts and episodes.
Kevin ScanlanGUEST
And I think I listened to like several hundred episodes.
Kevin ScanlanGUEST
And I feel like that really gave me the confidence to go out there and actually start looking at real estate deals.
Mindy JensenHOST
So did you go back to the bank after you got your first job?
Kevin ScanlanGUEST
It wasn't until late 2018, early 2019 that I went back and then got approved then.
Kevin ScanlanGUEST
And throughout the time, listening to BiggerPockets, really understanding what I was able to get finance for.

And then I was mostly looking for two to four units in Chicago.

So then where was a question, right? So I joined.
Vaibhav PuranikGUEST
Ken told me, oh, there's this website called BiggerPockets.
Vaibhav PuranikGUEST
So you should just do some research there.
Vaibhav PuranikGUEST
So I joined BiggerPockets, and I started researching various things.
Vaibhav PuranikGUEST
And then I found out that there's many investors from Dallas, Fort Worth area.
Vaibhav PuranikGUEST
Then I got hold of an agent who was answering questions of a lot of people there.
Vaibhav PuranikGUEST
And I was thinking that if I keep playing this single family rentals, I don't think I can be self-sufficient one day.
Vaibhav PuranikGUEST
So I need to do something bigger.
Katie KleinGUEST
It's less about like, here's a hot market for real estate investing and more like how can we add to your life while also setting you up financially for the future?
Rory GillHOST
Jason and I, when we first started getting interested in real estate investing, we listened to the BiggerPockets podcast every week and we kind of understood that world.
Rory GillHOST
But at the time, they were preaching these other markets in the country.
Rory GillHOST
You need to go to Cleveland and Detroit and all these other places because that's where you're going to pick up a ton of appreciation over time and you're going to get cash flow right out of the gate.
Clay HeplerGUEST
