About Our Guest:

Kirby Atwell served 11 years on active duty in the U.S. military. In 2011, he left the service, and while working on his MBA, he started his first real estate investment company, focused on buying distressed properties, renovating, and selling them.

While working in this first business that required constant hustle, Kirby realized there was a better way to achieve success without sacrificing everything else. Today, he buys high-cash-flowing, "non-traditional" vacation rentals, and teaches others how to do the same, watching their lives change for the better as a result.
