A real-estate finance class he took during his senior year of college introduced him to the business side of real estate. Before, his definition of real estate was essentially, "the house that you live in," he told Insider. He subscribes to the " Real Estate Addicts " podcast hosted by two Boston-based investors, Ray Hurteau and Dan Rubin. As for his top book recommendation, it's " Sell It Like Serhant ," by real-estate broker, investor, and "Million Dollar Listing" star Ryan Serhant. In the book, Serhant describes this principle of having the most balls in the air as "a secret that gave me a huge advantage."
