Summary
On today’s show, David interviews David and Morgan Stanhope, a NY couple who started buying RE during covid in New York, and never looked back. With little more than advice from David and Brandon on Biggerpockets about what to look for and what to buy, they found their first 1% rule property on the MLS using a realtor! Dave and Morgan share how they had to overcome the hurdle of buying an STR vs a traditional rental, how Morgan had to trust Dave when it came to making the right decision, and what it was like navigating the difficult conversations in the beginning. They go on to share how they rent the property out as a sober living facility and eventually scaled to 13 homes! In addition to this, David and Morgan believe in keeping the W2 for as long as it makes sense and not being in a rush to quit. This attitude, and their commitment to the principles in Pillars of Wealth, gave them the stability and security they needed to scale safely at a time when many are struggling. This show will open your eyes as to th right way to scale your business. Download today! Subscribe to The David Greene Show! Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...

| 0:03.1 | This is the David Green Show, and I am joined today by the lovely couple, David and Morgan, Stanhope, who I recently ran into at Bigger Pockets Conference. I believe, guys, we see each other like, this is the second time, right? We met in Orlando before this. Yeah, we have a good habit of meeting every two years. Yes, that's exactly right. Every two years. It's every time there's the midterms. |
| 0:23.4 | And we had a good habit of meeting every two years. Yes, that's exactly right, every two years. |
| 0:21.6 | It's every time there's the midterms. |
| 0:23.4 | And we had a conversation about something that is very unpopular in the real estate investing community. |
| 0:28.9 | It's that we don't think that quitting your W-2 is the best move for every single person |
| 0:33.9 | and even the best reason to get into investing in real estate. |
| 0:37.4 | We kind of had a |
| 0:37.9 | conversation about that. You two were generous enough to come on the show and share how you build |
| 0:42.2 | your portfolio, how your business runs, and why you're fans of the W-2 until retirement. So, |
| 0:48.6 | thank you guys for joining me. Thanks for having us. Thank you for having us. And also thank you |

| 1:15.1 | Brandon were phenomenal to listen to. And just how you relate everything to everyday life |
| 1:21.5 | was just a very, very good starting basis for me. All right. And then Morgan, were you the one that brought David in? |
| 1:28.9 | Or was it like one day he kept talk about this cop that buys real estate? And you were like, |
| 1:33.2 | who is this David Green and why is he constantly in our home? No, that's absolutely true. |
| 1:39.1 | It was actually during COVID. And I think as you hear our story, we did everything in the middle of COVID in terms of our first |
| 1:46.1 | investment. And we just had our second child. And Dave came home from work one day and said, hey, I've been |
