Brandon is currently navigating his first year of real estate investing while working a W2 tech sales job. He started his career as an entry-level salesperson at a couple start-ups before joining a Fortune 100 company and rising up the ranks there. He’s been working remotely since 2020 which really ignited his passion for finding ways to make money while being able to travel and being location independent. He explored a couple different side hustles in the digital marketing and social media space before deciding to put all of his focus into off-market real estate. He’s been wholesaling virtually from Chicago into the Charlotte market and is quickly gaining momentum after some early struggles. Favorite quote: The man in the arena - Teddy Roosevelt “It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.” Basically, he is giving credit to the man who tries hard things, fails over and over again, and keeps moving forward, as opposed to someone who never tries at all Social Media: IG: bm_hien Youtube: Brandon Hien Email: bmhien14@gmail.com Email: RJ@nvrcapital.us Facebook - LinkedIn - Instagram Schedule a call to become a guest on the show!

Andrew Jarrett is a native of Western New York, where he was part of numerous profitable redevelopment opportunities on single-family homes. He founded a property management company that managed single-family and multifamily units. He sold the company and shifted his focus to acquiring smaller multifamily and single-family investment properties in Western New York. Andrew currently holds several hundred rental units in this market with in-place management and maintenance teams. Andrew is also a #1 Bestselling author and the host of “The Passive Road to Retirement” podcast. He scaled his investments to the acquisition of large Multifamily apartment complexes. In the past two years, he has gone “full cycle” on several hundred units in Florida and Georgia. Nic Cooper saw the power of cash-flowing assets with his single-family rentals but was ready to scale. He sold his remaining single-family rentals in San Diego and got his wife, Jamie on board to reinvest in real estate on a larger scale. Together they purchased a 24-unit apartment complex in Ohio to create passive income. In the first year, they optimized systems and as a result, more than doubled the property's value! They saw first-hand the power of multifamily real estate investing as an opportunity to create passive income and build wealth for their family. Nic brings a pilot’s precision and analytical mind to multifamily real estate with over 22 years as a military helicopter pilot. At present Nic owns 172 units in TX, AL, OH, and VA with $11.3MM assets under management. www.JarrettCapital.com - Andrew Jarrett Instagram YouTube - Passive Road to Retirement - Hudson Blue Multifamily Hudson Blue Multifamily Instagram Emails: Nic@hudsonbluemf.com Andrew@JarrettCapital.com Nic Cooper: (619) 990-8848 Email: RJ@nvrcapital.us Facebook - LinkedIn - Instagram Schedule a call to become a guest on the show!
