Welcome back to the Micro Empires podcast! Today, we will be listening to an episode that I reported back in May of 2020 at the beginning of Covid with someone I call a real estate ninja or a deal structure ninja; his name is Brandon Rumbley. 

Brandon purchased his first investment property to flip in 2007.  Although the deal went horribly wrong as he made all the mistakes new investors are prone to make,  he was hooked!  Learning from his mistakes, he moved on to the next deal.   After hundreds of subsequent deals, he now most enjoys the strategic side of real estate. Brandon co-owns Renew Real Estate Services. He owns nearly 100 rental units with his partners, builds 15-20 homes per year, has several vacation rentals, and loves to invest using self-directed tax-deferred or tax-free vehicles.

Let’s tune in and learn more about the foundational steps to get started in real estate.
