Leaving a Career to Find Time Freedom Through Real Estate with Seena Ghetmiri
In pursuing time freedom, many professionals look for alternative career paths, and for Seena Ghetmiri, real estate investing was the solution. On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan explores Seena's path from dentistry to short-term rentals. Despite starting just two years ago, Seena and his wife have quickly learned the ropes, leveraging their experiences with long- and medium-term rentals.
Seena shares what can happen when you pursue something you’re passionate about. In his interview with Jonathan, Seena recalls his leap from dentistry to a complete commitment to real estate. From attending meetups to forging relationships, Seena's perseverance and willingness to learn by doing propelled him forward. Seena also reveals why he and his wife transitioned from long-term to short-term rentals. Understanding the avatar attracted to his short-term properties and catering to their needs—down to the hair dryers they prefer—underscores his commitment to excellence.
As Jonathan and Seena drill down more into Seena’s story, you’ll hear more about:
Seena jumped directly into real estate investing after quitting his job as a dentist. If he had to do it over again, he would’ve transitioned into real estate investing a bit more slowly.
Buying his first property helped him overcome analysis paralysis and begin learning more about investing. Too much analysis was holding him back from moving forward.
Targeting a particular avatar is the secret to hosting successful Airbnb properties. A unique asset will continue to appeal to that avatar even when more generic properties aren’t receiving as much attention.
You can’t mindset your way to being ready. The more you learn about real estate, the more you realize there is to learn.
For those thinking about jumping out of a full-time career and diving right into real estate, you’ll want to hear Seena Ghetmiri’s reflections on his story.
