This week, we had the pleasure of inviting Gary Hibbert, a seasoned real estate investor, agent, author, and educator, to our podcast. Gary's inspirational journey took off during the 2008 housing market collapse when he transitioned from a corporate career to real estate entrepreneurship. He shares indispensable insights on tenant screening, thriving in dynamic real estate landscapes, and the role of real estate groups in his impressive portfolio of 19 properties.

Our conversation takes an engaging turn as we open up about our personal experiences, the trials we faced, and the strategies that saw us through. Real estate is not just about the bricks and mortar; it's a mental game. You need nerves of steel, a clear vision, and a strong community of like-minded individuals to thrive. 

We tackle the topic of high interest rates and offer practical advice for those feeling the pinch. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the challenges of real estate investing, this episode is your wake-up call to face those hurdles with determination.

In the final stretch of our energetic chat, we delve into the treasure trove of lessons learned from Gary's journey. The value of stepping away from your comfort zone, the importance of a shared vision with your partner, and the art of successful communication and goal-setting are just some of the nuggets we unearth. 

Gary opens up about his wildest experiences as an investor, emphasizes the importance of trusting your gut, and shares a strangely effective tip about using sticky notes for positive reinforcement. Whatever your real estate aspirations may be, this episode is a goldmine of learnings from seasoned pros who've been there, done that. 

Tune in for a rollercoaster ride through the captivating world of real estate investing and entrepreneurship!
