In the latest episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan interviews Lili Thompson, a dynamic young real estate investor with a large YouTube audience and thriving business. Lili’s first forays into the world of real estate began during her childhood. Following her college years as an athlete, she immersed herself in podcasts and books, swiftly acquiring knowledge about real estate investing. With her parents’ support, Lili embarked on her own investment career. Despite her youth, she has amassed a wealth of experiences and lessons that she is enthusiastic about sharing with others.

 

Some insights you’ll hear from Lili include:

  • Lili’s advice for new real estate investors is straightforward. Where there’s a problem, there’s an opportunity–so find the problem.

  • Take a balanced approach if you want to weather adversity. If you stick with it and get the right information, your perseverance will help you stick it out when things get tough and you want to quit.

  • Content creation can be a creative outlet that also offers accountability. You can also create and leverage relationships online with other investors that you might not otherwise have been able to interact with.
