How to Thrive with High Interest Rates featuring Jimmy Vreeland
Jimmy Vreeland joins Marck to discuss how to thrive in the current high interest rate environment.
There comes a time when tables turn. A host becomes a guest, and a guest becomes a host. Today, I get to be a guest on King Khang’s podcast. Khang will be interviewing me, intending to understand my real estate journey.
Khang and I are members of the Collective Genius Mastermind, and we are both immigrants to the country. My real estate journey started when I was pursuing my MBA. I flipped a house and thought it would be a great path to follow. So far, I’m glad I chose the right path.
In this episode, we’ll talk about how I started in real estate, built a team, work-life balance, how I survived a recession, and Airbnb’s, among other interesting topics.
Grab a notebook and pen. You might need to take some notes.
