Join Craig as he takes on a solo episode to interview Colton Haaker, two-time EnduroCross Champion and real estate investor. Starting from achieving his lifelong dream of becoming a professional dirt bike racer, Colton shares his incredibly unique career and the physical and mental demands that come with it. With his high-risk, high-reward career, Colton offers valuable insights into the financial realities of sports professions, often glamorized but rarely understood in their true financial scope.
We also discuss how Colton has found real estate investing as his path to financial independence as his plans his retirement from his racing career.
A bonus of today’s episode is learning more about Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, the unique attributes of this city and what’s made it a goldmine for real estate investors. From the tourism appeal to the steady growth in property values it’s no wonder why yours truly @thefiguy moved there and is investing in the area himself.
