In this episode of the Real Estate Investing School Podcast, host Joe Jensen sits down with luxury realtor and seasoned investor Shane Wilde. With a track record of helping clients earn 12–20% ROI and a portfolio rooted in high-end properties across Utah, Shane shares his approach to blending entrepreneurial vision with hyper-local expertise. He opens up about how a pivotal moment as a new dad drove him to quit his 9-to-5 and go all-in on real estate. Now, with years of short-term rental and motel experience under his belt, Shane talks strategy, systems, and scaling smart—from Airbnb arbitrage to creative financing and spec home builds. The conversation goes deep into the value of saying “no” to the wrong opportunities, front-loading effort, and building SOPs to streamline success. Shane and Joe explore why real estate is the ultimate creative outlet, how investing as an agent gives you an unfair advantage, and why freedom isn’t just a result—it’s the intention behind every smart move. Whether you’re trying to scale your portfolio, optimize your systems, or find your own unfair advantage, this episode is packed with insights to help you level up.
