Introducing Brian to the show

How Brian got introduced to real estate
[07:32 - 14:06] From Buy-Renovate-Rent-Refinance to Investing Abroad
Brian's first investing strategy was to buy, renovate, rent, refinance, and repeat
Lower-end properties have hidden costs, such as higher turnover rates and more abuse of the property
Investing club invests in different states, cities, sponsors, and types of property for diversification
[14:07 - 23:07] Investing with a Professional Commercial Real Estate Investor
To replace income, one needs to calculate their investable net worth, savings rate, and fire ratio every month
Financial independence does not mean one has to cover 100% of living expenses with passive income
A combination of a stable job with good benefits and being self-employed can work well together
[23:08 - 32:19] Overcoming Language Barriers and Building a Global Business
Living in UAE is bilingual in English and Arabic, making the language barrier a non issue

Earning income from anywhere in the world can be done through remote jobs or online business
