## Resource

In this episode Dion shares his decade-long journey from public service to financial freedom through a focused small-multifamily strategy—8 properties (18 units), house-hacking, a tight buy box, and systems that let him manage properties in hours per month while traveling in Thailand.They discuss practical tactics (binder strategy, tenant screening, property selection), policy impacts like rent control and insurance, and the trade-offs between optimizing for time versus scale. Key takeaway: pick the buy box that matches your life goals.
