From understanding the value of hiring pros to screening tenants to learning the importance of data-driven decision-making, Austin's story is both relatable and inspiring.

Whether you're just starting in real estate or looking to sharpen your focus in business, Austin’s advice will challenge you to think long-term, specialize smartly, and take action—even if it means losing a little money to gain a lot of wisdom.
