Matt is a cultural anthropologist, college professor, and overseas U.S. diplomat – and now a business owner!    During the COVID pandemic he was ‘bitten’ by the real estate bug and built a $2.1 million portfolio with no outside funds in my first 13 months.    His goal for next year is to add $7 million in property under management, and then add $9 million in value the following year –  this time through partnerships.  He invests in short-term beach rentals in the Outer Banks North Carolina, and commercial buildings in the eastern United States.   He started @toolateforrealestate (Instagram) because he turns 50 years old this year (2022) and just discovered real estate in his late-career.    Through @toolateforrealestate he speaks to mid-career professionals who are just discovering real estate and he takes them on the journey.  TheRichLifePodcast.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-rich-life/support
