Oh, and he will tell us how he raised $20 million in private money to fund his real estate operations. Video replay of my interview with Austin Rutherford: About Austin Rutherford Austin Rutherford is a former NBA hopeful who realized the quick money-making hustle of real estate. At 20, using his savings, he bought his first house for rental and broadened his knowledge and skills through courses and books while taking night classes and valeting cars. With combined hard work, perseverance, eagerness to learn more, partnership, and guidance with the right mentors, he found his way to success in the business. He has built a 7-figure real estate investing business and owns 60 plus rental properties. Inspiring others with his success, he shares his knowledge about developing their brand in scaling real estate with passive income through his courses.

Takeaways It would be convenient for the owners if they hire a competent property management company for rental properties. Rental properties are a great way to earn passive income and make money long-term. In rental properties, you can do a Cash-Out Refinance and just take all the money out tax-free. Reward yourself for all the hard work that you’ve done. It helps you grow socially and mentally. Build a life and then build a business around it. The good thing about traveling and leaving away from the business is to get to know the things that don’t work, thus placing better systems, people, and processes. Social media is the future. It doesn’t only influence and help people, but it can also broaden your network and net worth. Collaborating with other REIs makes you earn more, learn more, and connect more. The thought of the thought. Be conscious of the reasons behind your thinking, decisions, or actions. Lean into people in your life that are positive and believe in you.
