Today we are joined by Brandon Turner, co-host of the BiggerPockets Podcast.

In this show he’ll discuss how to creatively put deals together, the perfect mindset for real estate investing and one investing strategy he focuses on today.

About Brandon:

While working for $8 an hour Brandon sold his first home for a small profit. After that first transaction Brandon became infatuated with the notion of selling real estate for a profit and started house hacking and buying single family rental properties. With a current portfolio of over 50 rental properties Brandon is an expert at creatively finding and financing real estate deals.
