What if you could run a thriving real estate business from anywhere in the world—without ever setting foot in most of your properties?
In this episode, we sit down with Adrienne Green, a savvy real estate investor who turned house hacking into a passport for full-time travel with her family. She shares how she built rock-solid systems, empowered virtual assistants, and mastered the art of delegation—managing properties she hasn’t visited in years.
You’ll hear how Adrienne creates SOPs that keep her business running smoothly, leverages AI tools for smarter decisions, scales without burning out, and stays true to her values while building wealth. Whether you’re a seasoned investor or just starting out, her story will inspire you to design a business that works for you, not the other way around.
Press play and get ready to rethink what’s possible for your real estate journey.
