E218: The Defiant Entrepreneur with Carlos Rovira
Defiance – that’s one word that would probably best describe a great entrepreneur. For real estate investor and property manager, Carlos Rovira, a rare quality is being able to do things out of the ordinary as you’re operating in a mediocre world. You’re going against the grain and you’re taking risks that nobody else is doing. After working at tech company Yahoo! for nine years, Carlos made a leap into the real estate investing space. A natural problem-solver, he assumed management of his entire Kansas portfolio when he encountered an issue with his property manager. He then ended up building his own property management business and creating systems around it – not something any investor would have done if they didn’t have the entrepreneurial chops. In today’s conversation, Carlos shares his insights into these three entrepreneurial must-haves – defiance, problem-solving, and strong relationships!

"Entrepreneurs tend to go against the grain a lot... you have to, because if you don't, then you stay the same. And then when you stay the same, there's no innovation." “Property management is just all problem-solving. It's all you're doing all day long – solving problems."
