How does someone go from crunching numbers as an actuary to building a 90+ unit real estate portfolio? In this episode, Adil Virani shares his unconventional journey from corporate risk management to full-time real estate investor, and the hard lessons, pivotal pivots, and personal growth he experienced along the way.

Full Description: In this inspiring episode, John Wei sits down with Adil Virani, a former actuary turned full-time real estate investor. Adil opens up about his transition from the world of insurance to property investing, sparked by free time after completing a decade-long actuarial journey.
