Why Eric Left His Dream Job at Facebook for Real Estate Investing
Why Eric Left His Dream Job at Facebook for Real Estate Investing
Meet Eric Yu, the former Facebook engineer who left his high-paying job to pursue a life of purpose and freedom through real estate investing. In this podcast episode, Eric shares his journey of leaving a nine-to-five job and starting a real estate business that generates $6-8K of cash flow per month. He also provides tips for aspiring real estate agents and investors to gain clients' trust.
Eric's story is one of courage, determination, and passion. After working at Facebook for four years, he realized that he was not happy with his life, despite having achieved his dream job. He learned that making a high salary was not enough to bring him fulfillment. Eric's journey began during the pandemic when he started researching real estate and found success with house hacking and Airbnb. He picked up a few more properties and realized that he could pursue real estate full-time.
To gain clients' trust, Eric started offering free consultations to potential clients interested in buying properties in his local area. He established himself as an expert in the field, and this strategy proved successful, as he was able to convert three clients from those initial consultations. Eric also used authority marketing on platforms like Bigger Pockets, where he consistently posted using keywords for his local area. This helped him close six deals on the platform in the previous year. Additionally, he used social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook to establish himself as an authority figure and gain clients.
During the conversation, Eric discussed various aspects of the real estate industry, particularly real estate investing and agency. They talked about the importance of networking, with Eric sharing his strategy of networking through social media and emphasizing the need to lead with value and be consistent in reaching out to potential contacts. The speakers also discussed the benefits of short-form content, which can help build an audience over time.
Eric's story inspires curiosity and interest in the real estate industry. He took a leap of faith, left his high-paying job, and pursued his passion, resulting in financial and personal freedom. His tips for aspiring agents and investors to gain clients' trust and establish themselves as authorities in the field are helpful for anyone looking to start a career in real estate. If you're interested in real estate and want to know how to get started, Eric's story is an excellent source of inspiration and knowledge.
