Lorenzo Decaria: 我一直是一名软件工程师，用时间换取金钱，这让我感到职业发展受限。我一直在寻找一种可以独立于时间投入的扩展方式。我尝试过股票投资、日间交易和其他生意，但很难摆脱对时间投入的依赖。我开始分析我认识的富人，发现他们都有一个共同点：房地产。这让我觉得房地产是他们成功的关键。因此，我决定学习并实践他们的做法。我采取了一种分析方法，开始尽可能多地学习房地产知识，并找到了BiggerPockets这个资源。《BRRRR方法》这本书让我找到了我需要的投资策略。2020年疫情期间，我的签证和工作都面临问题，这促使我开始认真对待房地产投资。我意识到不能让W-2工作决定我的未来，必须自给自足，于是下定决心开始投资房地产。社交媒体上成功人士的形象和速成课程让我感到气馁和不信任。直到2023年，我遇到了一个朋友的姐夫，他是一位普通的房产管理者，这让我觉得房地产投资是可行的。遇到一个普通人成功投资房地产的例子，让我觉得我也能做到。在阅读了两年书后，我终于在三四个月内完成了第一笔交易。
