    Episode #13: From Apple to Real Estate: Building a Frictionless Furnished Rental Business with Vivian Yip

    What happens when you take the systems and operational thinking behind launching iPhones and apply them to real estate investing?   On Episode 13 of BrickFolio, co-hosts Daniel Anderson and Brian Biernat sit down with real estate investor and mid-term rental expert Vivian Yip.   After spending nearly seven years at Apple working on iPhone launches, Vivian made the leap into real estate. She and her husband have completed more than 40 flips, and Vivian went on to build CRU Homes, a network of more than 1,000 properties serving insurance-displaced families and corporate housing clients.   Daniel and Brian talk with Vivian about leaving the corporate world, scaling a real estate business, the growing opportunity in mid-term rentals, and why strong systems become critical as your portfolio grows.   They also dig into Vivian’s Frictionless MTR System, and how investors can create a more predictable rental business without being chained to their phones.   If you’re interested in real estate investing, furnished rentals, mid-term rentals, or building a business that gives you more freedom instead of another full-time job, this episode is for you.   Produced by Daniel Anderson at Audio Alchemy Productions.
