My guest today is Shaun Reilly from Newton, MA.
Shaun is a very active real estate investor that specializes in wholesaling and rehabbing houses throughout Massachusetts. He is also a buy and hold landlord, a husband, and is the father of two adorable little girls.
One thing that I find really interesting about Shaun is that he knows how to turn a lead that a lot of investors that won't touch into cash. He has some great stories so I'm sure you are going to really enjoy this podcast.
