Welcome back to the third episode in our special series, Afford Anything Presents: Invest Anywhere.
Invest Anywhere is a new monthly series that runs on the First Friday of each month. It lays out the information you need to invest in real estate at a distance.
Many of you want to invest in real estate, but you live in a high-cost-of-living area. (Ahem, California and New York). The homes in your city are prohibitively expensive, and they offer lackluster returns.
You could invest in a lower-cost area like Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Omaha or Wichita … but HOW? That sounds terrifying.
We’re here to dismantle that fear, piece by piece, by sharing our knowledge and experience.
The Invest Anywhere series is dedicated to giving you the guidance you need to make smart, confident choices about investing out-of-state.
It’s co-hosted between myself (Paula) and esteemed real estate investor Suni Rao, who’s experienced everything ranging from buy-and-hold rental investing to (accidentally) wholesaling. She’s managed short-term and long-term rentals. She’s owned houses, multi-units, and even a mobile home park.
She joins me in this episode to talk about a variety of strategies that will help you make money in real estate.

Further up, we find the tree trunk, which represents your goals and objectives. Perhaps financial independence / FIRE is a goal, emerging from the value of freedom and the principle of wise resource stewardship and capital allocation.
The tree trunk expands into thick limbs, which represent your strategies. This is what you do. (More on this topic in a moment).
Those limbs then form smaller branches, which represent tactics. This is how you execute the what.
Finally, the branches form a canopy of leaves, which represent products and services (tools, software, apps, business entities).
The leaves are the most prominent and visible parts of the tree, and therefore, real estate beginners will often ask questions at the leaf-level first. (For example, many people open with the question, “should I hire a property manager?” or “should I put my property into an LLC?”)
But these leaves are also …….
