In this episode, Zach Matson shares his real estate journey starting with reading "Rich Dad Poor Dad" and attending weekend seminars while working full-time. After moving to Boise in 2011, he decided to buy his first house during the market downturn post-2009 financial crisis. Despite facing challenges with cash buyers, he persisted and eventually bought his first duplex in 2013 for house hacking.

Zach Matson is the CEO of Matson Homes, a residential real estate developer focusing on infill development in the Boise area.
