Show Notes
This is Eat, Sleep, Invest, a podcast where we speak with real estate experts to help you get more deals. In today’s episode, Bryan Driscoll talks to Paul Lizell. Paul started in the real estate industry in 2001 by investing in HUD properties and running direct mail campaigns. By 2013, he was buying so many properties on online auctions and other avenues that he didn’t need to do anymore marketing. Now, Paul purchases properties in 44 out of 50 states. He also has been buying cryptocurrency since 2017 and has continued to build his crypto portfolio.
With his vast experience buying homes in online auctions, he outlines the process. He also gives valuable tips for people who want to take that avenue for investing. Bryan and Paul touch on their thoughts on the up-and-coming crosses between cryptocurrency and real estate. Bryan and Paul discuss:
