He Works 5 Hours a Week by Employing VAs! Here’s How. with Matt Larson
Growing up in a small town in Illinois, Matt began work at a local Machine shop, creating parts for agricultural companies like John Deere and Caterpillar. But after a few years, amounting debt and minimal pay raises forced him to look for another source of income. Spending the remaining money he had, he invested heavily in learning about real estate before successfully completing his first wholesale deal in 2006. Fast forward to the present, Matt has created a multi-million dollar real estate enterprise, completed thousands of real estate transactions, and holds a substantial portfolio of cash flowing properties. If you’re just starting out, or already run a business and are looking to go to the next level, Matt has the knowledge to get the result you desire.
