b'Podbean HTML Code snippet:\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\n------------\\nAustin Curry is an engineer, investor, and advisor of small businesses. He began his real estate investing journey in 2016, enthralled by the concept of financial independence discussed all over the internet. After hustling a few smaller multifamily properties in Chicago, he quickly realized he\'d need a team to reach any real amount of scale. After a couple of years of networking and learning, Harriet Capital was formed. Harriet Capital is a black and woman-owned firm focused on multifamily and mixed-use syndication opportunities in a handful of markets around the US. Austin\'s next urgent goal is to reach a level of scale that\'ll allow him to walk away from his "day job" and go full-time in investing. In his free time, Austin loves cooking and tinkering with his old cars.\\n\\xa0\\n[00:01 - 07:58] Opening Segment\\nGet to know Austin CurryMechanical engineer and real estate investor and syndicator\\nHow Austin manages his time with his career and real estate investing endeavors\\nTwo Things that Help Austin Conquer the World\\n\\n\\xa0\\n[07:59 - 16:34] How a Busy Engineer Scales a Real Estate Portfolio\\nThe Cost of Bad Systems and Lack of a Property Manager\\nUnderwriting Improvements from the First Deal\\xa0\\xa0\\nThe Challenges of the Pandemic for Austin and his business\\n\\xa0\\n[16:35 - 28:24] Seminars, Risks, and the Pandemic\\xa0\\nAustin talks about eviction moratoriums during the pandemic\\nScammed into a Real Estate Seminar\\nHouse Flipping and Taking Risks\\n\\xa0\\n[28:25 - 38:43] Closing Segment\\nQuick break for our sponsorsThe first step to growing your wealth is tracking your wealth, income spending and everything else about your finances, you can start tracking your wealth for free and get six free months of wealth advisor.\\xa0 Learn more about Personal Capital at www.escapingwallstreet.com\\xa0\\n\\nWhat is the best investment you\'ve ever made other than your education?Austin\\u2019s second investment\\n\\nAustin\\u2019s worst investmentOptions course\\n\\nWhat is the most important lesson that you\'ve learned in business and investing?\\u201cNever overweight the effects of macroeconomics versus the micro factors of your deal.\\u201d\\n\\nConnect with Austin Curry through curryag@gmail.com and Instagram.\\n\\xa0\\nInvest passively in multiple commercial real estate assets such as apartments, self storage, medical facilities, hotels and more through https://www.passivewealthstrategy.com/crowdstreet/\\nParticipate directly in real estate investment loans on a fractional basis.
