There is more to real estate investing than making money, isn't there?

Welcome back to the "Inspired to Invest" real estate podcast. This week, Jo Barrington and Ray Vozza from BV&Co are joining us to share their unique approach to real estate and why they believe that focusing on people, properties and profitable investments are all equally important when you're building your real estate business.

To tune in, go to: https://youtu.be/kCdFWPkVdqI.

Like many other real estate investors, Ray and Jo decided it was time to leave the "rat race" after starting their family. They wanted more control over their time so they could better fulfill their new roles as parents to their two beautiful children.

Find out how they educated themselves so they could take this leap into their new lives and careers - and some of the surprises that they encountered along the way.

Investing in real estate is a huge undertaking, especially when you're raising capital from other people for your acquisitions. Learn more about how Ray and Jo have gone about tackling this and why they've made it their priority to take care of their investors (aka, their "people") first.

Ray and Jo share one golden nugget after another during our discussion, and they don't shy away from some of the struggles that they have experienced along the way either.

This conversation is a gold mine for anyone out there who is thinking about taking charge of their future by becoming a full-time real estate investor. Ray and Jo reveal the roadmap they have followed to be where they are today, and why they have shifted their path a bit as this new chapter has unfolded for them.

Ray and Jo are a dynamic duo that you simply won't want to miss!
