When he has downtime he loves to travel with his girlfriend Sara-Lynn and make friends from across the world with plans to see every country. he also enjoys the odd patio pint with friends, reading books, cooking, green breakfast smoothies, snowboarding, passionate about health and fitness, and yearns to learn Spanish.
In our conversation together, Ryan and host Doug Meyers discuss:
Ryan’s origin story for both where he comes from and real estate Finding his way through jobs and early investments, some of which became costly learning lessons Becoming educated in real estate investing Overcoming the imposter syndrome as it relates to creative real estate investing “The Deal” that brought together years of education and previous experiences Shifting his perspective as an investor to “problem solver” The pros and challenges of investing in small towns including $18,000 deals, cash-flow, lender issues, and knowing the market
