I'm so glad you enjoyed this episode @aussieninja! Thanks for sharing your experience with real estate. Your right, most people don't fully understand all the costs associated and only think of it as an investment.

I definitely know a lot of people who have made good money on real estate - but it's because they have a calculated formula of what they are looking for and what they can afford. I've always thought people who buy fixer upper's and then re-sell them seem to have a lot of fun with that and it can definitely be something that pays off once you figure out how to streamline processes and get efficient with the remodel costs.

Also, i don't blame you for not wanting to rent in Portland! SO expensive! I live in Bellingham and our prices are pretty inflated - but nothing like you guys or even Seattle.

Great question for next week too!! That would be a fun one to discuss! We are filming the Food episode too and I know you had a ton of good ones on that one too. haha

Thanks for always submitting such fun and interesting questions!! <3
