Innovative Real Estate Tactics You Need to Know with Mathew Frederick

In E288, Andrew announces his decision to pivot towards a new media venture, driven by the need to adapt to market conditions and redirect his focus, time, and resources into new content avenues. Reflecting on the journey that began in 2019, Andrew shares how his podcast, inspired by Gary Vee's book Crushing It, was born out of a desire to communicate his ideas, build a platform, and foster connections in the real estate world. The podcast grew rapidly, resonating with listeners who were eager to learn about real estate investing, particularly in the early days when he focused on accessible strategies like BRRRR and multifamily investments. Over time, the content evolved as Andrew's interests expanded into larger-scale developments and more complex projects. However, the podcast's momentum has shifted in recent months, with listener numbers declining since the peak in May 2023. Andrew notes a change in enthusiasm both from his audience and potential guests, leading him to reassess his priorities. While he acknowledges the immense value the podcast has provided, both in terms of personal growth and the impact on his listeners, he believes that it's time to explore new opportunities. Andrew remains excited about his future ventures, particularly in Florida, where his real estate business is thriving. He's also enthusiastic about expanding his glamping business, Grotto Getaway, and exploring new content formats on YouTube, where he plans to deliver more focused, short-form content on current events, economics, and real estate. Despite stepping back from the podcast, Andrew assures his audience that he'll remain active on social media and through his other projects. He leaves the door open to possibly returning to podcasting in the future but is committed to his new direction for now.

In E287, Andrew interviews Ara Poladian on the show for the second time. Since we last spoke, Ara transitioned from his engineering job into contracting and has been thriving in real estate.

Ara’s entrepreneurial spirit is fueled by his desire to ensure financial stability for his family. Despite the ups and downs, he emphasizes the importance of learning from every experience and staying grounded. He continues to advocate for a balanced approach to work and personal life, making time for his four children and ensuring his investments align with long-term family goals.
