Show Notes

In this episode of the Short Term Show, Avery welcomed Chris and Jena Hartman, a dynamic duo who are both pilots and successful real estate investors. Chris and Jena shared their backgrounds, explaining how they both grew up in military households and eventually met at the Air Force Academy. They discussed their initial entry into real estate, which began with a piece of advice from a mentor: buy a house at every base and turn it into a rental property when you move. This strategy laid the foundation for their real estate journey. Chris and Jena detailed their first property purchase in Enid, Oklahoma. They touched on the challenges they faced, such as dealing with HOAs. They also emphasized to listeners that you really can manage a property from anywhere.
