Episode #297

A house hack that covers all living expenses and allows you to travel the world!? Many people dream of making passive income from real estate, but only some take action. After getting her real estate license and immersing herself in the world of investing, today’s guest was chomping at the bit to buy her first property.

In this episode, we’re speaking with Olivia Tati—a former chemical engineer turned nomadic real estate investor! After discovering the freedom and flexibility of working from home, Olivia quickly determined that she no longer wanted to work her corporate W2 job. Fortunately, she had spent months cultivating several side hustles and multiple streams of passive income. With this financial safety net in place, Olivia quickly turned her attention to real estate. It wasn’t long before she landed her first deal—a duplex that rents for up to $6,500/month and allows her to live out her nomadic dream!

Do you aspire to earn enough passive income to quit your nine-to-five, work from home, or travel the world? This is the episode for you! Tune in to hear Olivia, Ashley, and Tony discuss a unique strategy to get a property under contract, various ways to buy real estate with no money down, and creating the perfect guest experience at your short-term rental. They also cover the benefits of getting a real estate license—whether it’s getting your feet wet before investing, saving money on closing costs, or making passive income through referrals!
