Kyle Miller talks with Jay Shaw & Erika Spencer.
Introduction
Jay and Erika didn’t start off with much money but they did have the drive to make it in real estate investing. After buying 2 homes in a month they got the attention of other investors who were amazed by how much they had done in such a short amount of time. 18 months later they are on their 17th property helping investors make smart decisions with their money.
