Andres Martinez: 我从18岁来到美国，做过各种各样的工作，最终成为了一名服务员。我一直梦想着拥有自己的房子，但由于收入以现金形式支付，我无法获得抵押贷款。于是我开始学习房地产投资，并通过转售商品、网络兼职等方式积累资金。起初我从事批发业务，后来接触到合租模式，并发现这是一个可行的策略。我开始在Facebook Marketplace等平台上发布广告，并成功吸引了大量的潜在租客。经过测试和实践，我逐渐摸索出一套成功的合租模式，并最终在18个月内实现了财务自由，拥有了5套房产，每月现金流超过5000美元。我的成功秘诀在于：1. 积极行动：不断学习和尝试新的策略；2. 灵活的融资方式：利用其他人的钱（OPM）、卖方融资和受让交易等方式获得资金；3. 精心挑选租客：我更倾向于选择内向、独立的租客，以减少冲突；4. 持续改进：不断优化我的运营模式，提高效率和盈利能力。 Ashley Kerr: 我们今天的嘉宾Andres Martinez通过行动偏见，与其他房地产投资者合作，并使用共同居住作为他的房地产投资策略，从而在今年辞去了他的W-2工作。 Tony J. Robinson: Andres Martinez的成功故事告诉我们，即使在房地产市场低迷的情况下，仍然可以通过积极的行动和创新的策略来实现财务自由。他的合租模式为我们提供了新的思路，也证明了房地产投资的巨大潜力。
