#83: Anthony Walker: The Agent as the Investor at Buckingham Investments

“I wanted to have a day job that allowed me to run an active income business, but was also going to give me exposure, experience and the knowledge to grow a real estate portfolio in the space that I wanted to be in.” -Anthony Walker
