In today's episode, we're joined by Mike & Noor Bchara, a power real estate couple who’s found great success in New York house hacking! Tired of living paycheck to paycheck and working for other people, these investors took the right risks and creative approaches to successful deal vetting, property acquisition, and maximizing Airbnb returns.
So, if you’re interested in learning the behind-the-scenes steps they took to build an impressive portfolio across New York, join us for an insightful episode on technical and practical tips for building homes, renovating, and renting out units. We dive into an exciting discussion on the power of appreciation and understanding how to navigate the market to your advantage. Mike & Noor share with us the real numbers behind Noor's first properties and other house hacks that eventually helped Noor take home more money than her original job!
From hiring contractors for renovations to navigating real estate as business partners and real-life partners, our guests today are an amazing example of harnessing an entrepreneurial spirit, using their skills to seize opportunities and maximize profits. As we wrap up, we talk about what the future holds for Noor and Mike’s future investments.
