In this episode, Brock talks with Will Jordan.

Will is the founder of BnB Interiors, a company offering interior design services focused on the short term rental market as well as property management in San Diego. We talk through how he looks at money - he spent two years living in a van which allowed him to save enough money to go in as a limited partner on a real estate transaction with his brother. He talks about how the desire for community and good experiences led to his friends starting a backyard concert venue. There's some great food for thought in this episode on how to approach life and balancing a career and your actual life. 

Now, Will is building BnB Interiors. We hear his approach to the STR market, how he evaluates deals, and walk through some basic numbers on a rental he has under management.
