Josh Baker has been a diver all his life. Once at Navy boot camp, he almost went in the cryptography direction but the call of the dive was far too strong. He built a storied military diving career, from secondary command, climbing the ranks to first-class, making chief his first year on the mobile diving and salvage unit, and running the diving robotics division. He’s also been on multiple deployments in South America and Bahrain. Now, he’s reached his 20th year and intends to retire very soon. The cherry on top to all of that? He dived into real estate in the middle of his active military duty stint.
Being the avid diver he is, Josh has made it his life to explore deep unknown trenches. He bought his first house soon as he realized apartments are black holes for your cash flow. It wasn’t perfect of course but he put his handyman skills to work and made sure his properties are renter-proof. He shares his in-depth method on how he achieved that. You certainly will not want to miss that one. Most of all, Josh goes on to shed some honesty and genuineness when dealing with tenants, and how it all ties with his goals to help and teach others about real estate. Watch the episode and dive in with Josh himself!
