In this podcast episode, David Greene talks with Josh Shriner, an Oklahoma-based real estate agent and investor, about what it really takes to survive and grow in today’s real estate market. Josh shares how he mixes house flips, long-term rentals, and Airbnbs instead of sticking to one niche, using flips to create capital for buy-and-hold properties while managing around a dozen projects at once. They dive into what’s working in the Tulsa and Broken Arrow Airbnb market, why location and walkability matter more than hype, and how thoughtful, moody design can outperform the basic white-and-gray look. Josh also breaks down how he finds most of his deals off-market through SEO leads, agent relationships, wholesalers, and long-term connections, plus his path from an unfulfilling W-2 job to building a purpose-driven real estate business. If you’re interested in real estate investing, house flipping, rentals, or Airbnbs—especially in Midwest or smaller markets—this episode is packed with practical advice, real talk, and lessons you can actually use.
