In this episode, we meet Hadar Orkibi, an Israeli-born real estate enthusiast who shares his journey from being a licensed agent in Israel to becoming a successful investor in the United States. Hadar grew up helping his father with his real estate ventures and developed a fascination for the freedom that passive income can bring. Wanting to explore real estate further, he obtained their license and gained experience in renting properties. However, Hadar soon realized that being an agent wasn't the right fit for him. He desired to be on the other side of the spectrum as property owners, reaping the benefits of passive income. Moving to New Zealand with his wife, they immersed themselves in the local market, doing manual labor and engaging with real estate investor associations.

They started trading properties as a wholesaler and built a portfolio of small multifamily units and commercial real estate. As the New Zealand market became less favorable for cash flow, Hadar set his sights on the United States. With his mother being an American citizen, he had the advantage of easy travel and access to financing.

After thorough market research and exploring different cities, Hadar began investing in the United States, starting with smaller properties. He honed his skills in wholesaling and joined a coaching program to gain knowledge and confidence. Their first major deal, a 45-unit apartment community, proved to be a turning point in Hadar's career.

Since then, he has experienced significant positive growth and is actively expanding their real estate portfolio. Tune in to hear more about Hadar Orkibi's journey and the lessons they've learned along the way.
