How are you? I am doing great and you're probably lying right now because I asked Ashley about an hour and a half ago. Last minute, would you like to join me for a seeing green? And she's pretending like she's not nervous, but she's probably super nervous because this is her podcast. But I am confident that you guys are all going to love Ashley as much as I do after you get to know her a little better. Before we jump into our first question, Ashley, can you just take a brief minute to kind of explain a little bit about your own portfolio and your real estate business. Yeah, absolutely. So I invest in Branson, Missouri. I have short-term

rentals there. I own 19 and then I manage for others as well. I have a little over 40 total.

I've been in love with real estate for as long as I can remember, started, I think about my

first home. I was 21, just long-term rental and bought a bunch after that and then got into short-term rentals. And yeah, that's my love now. Okay. And how many short-term rentals do you have? I own 19. Yeah. And then there's, I manage a little bit more than that for other people. You don't want to say how many you manage? Honestly, I don't know. I just, I onboarded two more here. So it's somewhere over 40. She's so successful that she lost track of how well she's doing. And this is why you guys are going to love Ashley because not only is she really good at what she does. She's super humble. And then you're buying a farm right now as well or something like

that, right? Yeah, yeah. We just close that like 10 days ago. Yeah, you have 160 acres. You're going to

lease that to someone else who's going to manage it. Um, we are leasing the house. There's a house on there also.

And then, um, my husband's, uh, hobby is cows. I collect condos. He collects cows and he's going to throw a bunch of cows out there. Have you considered an Instagram page called cows and condos? No. That's a great idea. But I'm so bad at social media. So I'd have to have somebody else run that. Heifers and HOAs. I'm sure that there's lots of ways that we could play on this. We'll have to think about that throughout today's show. So thank you for joining us. And Ashley's going to be throwing in her two cents on your guys' questions, the overall state of the market and the comments that we receive over here at Real Talk Real Estate. All right. Let's get into our first question from Anthony Wheeler.

Hi, David.

Big fan of the show.

Got a question about getting started in real estate.

I want to try to do the house hack method with a multifamily.

There's a few duplexes in my market that I'm looking at based off of numbers.

I should be able to purchase at around 220

and possibly rent a second unit out for $1,100 a month, maybe $1,200 a month, give or take,
