Hey everybody. Thank you for joining us for today's episode of Real Estate Disruptors. Today we have Ryan Shalaba with Urban Capital and he flew it from Pittsburgh to show how he and his partner have flipped over 70 properties so far this year for close to $2 million in gross profit. If this is your first time tuning in, I am Steve Trang and I help entrepreneurs create businesses that support their family, lifestyle, and goals through mentorship. I'm on a mission to create 100 millionaires. You want to be part of that journey.
