Location Independence Through Intentional Investing and Lifestyle Design

Location Independence Through Intentional Investing and Lifestyle Design

On this episode, we welcome Brian Davis, a real estate investor who started buying rental properties shortly before the 2008 house collapse. After that expensive lesson, Brian went on to co-found Spark Rental, a platform for educating others on passive real estate syndications.

Brian walks us through his journey from investing his own money to pooling funds as a club. We discuss the club's diversification across operators, geographies, asset classes and debt terms. Brian also shares how he designed his location-independent lifestyle, his family's adventures living abroad, and the intentional choices they make around communities, schools and investing.
