Sief Khafagi is an ex techie turned real estate investor who has helped thousands diversify into real estate after spending nearly 5 years at Facebook where he built the 2nd largest engineering organization across the world. 1000+ hires later, it hit him: a company’s most important asset is its people.
Today, he’s the founder of Techvestor, which helps real estate investors and busy professionals passively invest in the emerging asset class of short term rentals (aka Airbnbs) and build for their lifestyle. All investors get to use the properties they invest in, further creating utility AND returns. Techvestor’s advisors include folks from AirDNA, Realtor.com and Bigger Pockets.
But this isn’t your average real estate investment company. Techvestor built it’s own proprietary sourcing technology where they can underwrite over 50,000 properties a month and acquire the best ones for their investors. It’s as if a real estate company and a tech company had a baby.

Dustin Serviss is a financial advisor who believes in taking a practical approach to personal finance. He emphasizes the importance of understanding one's "Bare Ass Minimum" (BAM) expenses, which are the essential costs required for a person to live. This includes necessities like food and housing payments, excluding luxury items such as expensive purses or extravagant travels. Dustin encourages individuals, regardless of their financial status, to examine their expenses and evaluate whether they align with their goals and values. To practice what he preaches, Dustin and his wife annually review their last three months' worth of visa statements to gain a clear understanding of their spending habits without judgment or accusations.

Hello everyone, it's Jack with another Tip Tuesday.
But before I do I'm going to direct you to reimastermind.net and check out the podcast. I've had some amazing guests and feel I'm doing you a disservice if you have only checked out these short tip episodes.
Today I was reminded yet again how powerful small consistent actions add up to huge results.
We live in Minnesota and are finally getting a taste of spring. Unfortunately, this also means we have quite a bit of snowmelt. This can be a problem if there is a lot of drifting near a property... and this is exactly the situation at my personal house.
This means I need to move the snow away from the house so the melting snow doesn't find itself in the basement. So, I went to the garage... took out the biggest shovel I could find, and started shoveling the snow away from the foundation.
You can imagine what soon happened. I wore out... quickly. What did I accomplish? A single path of snow was removed. It sure didn't look like enough to match the effort.
I needed to recover so I went back into the house. Took care of a few things... and then noticed my wife was outside shoveling... and she had moved A LOT of snow. Far more than I had accomplished.
How did she pull this off?
She had opted for one of the smallest shovels. One she could handle. One where she could easily lift. She was out there shoveling for quite a bit longer but she moved a heck of a lot more snow.
But that's my point. It took her quite a bit more time but it didn't tire her out as quickly. She chipped away at that snowdrift with that small shovel and eventually moved a mountain of snow.
The same can be said for real estate investing. Consistency wins over big efforts. Taking those small steps every single day towards a goal accomplishes the end result and typically with a lot less daily effort.
