"I'm in the investment stage of my life... I want more kids. I always tell women, like, want it all and do it all. Don't let anyone put you in a box."

Welcome back to another episode of Investing RN! Get ready to dive into our first interview with the amazing Sarah Wild. She's not just a CRNA (Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist), but also the powerhouse behind a thriving aesthetics business. Sarah's all about helping women rock their best selves through non-surgical cosmetic procedures, and she's a firm believer that work-life balance is totally achievable for women.

We had an absolute blast chatting with Sarah, so much so that we had to split her story into two parts! In part one, she speaks on her journey from nursing school to CRNA status and launching her own aesthetics business. You'll hear about the importance of family, striking that work-life balance, and the hurdles she faced during her anesthesia training. Sarah dives into the nitty-gritty of aesthetics certification, the range of injections she offers, and why keeping it natural and conservative is key. Even though Josh and Colin are still confused about the difference between Botox and filler, we think you all will catch up quickly.

Sarah also spills about her big plans for the future, like expanding her business and adding exciting new services such as weight loss treatments. So, buckle up and get ready for some serious inspiration!

🔑 In this episode, you will learn:

• Sara's background and decision to become a CRNA
• Sara’s transition into starting her own business
• Questions to ask when looking for a facial injector
• Differences between Botox and filler injections

Colin and Josh finally spill the beans on their latest mobile home park deal — a $3.6 million portfolio they locked down with (almost) no money out of pocket. But here’s the catch: they actually did bring a few grand to the table… so is "no money down" just a sexy lie to sell you a course?

This episode dives into what “no money out of pocket” really means, how their investor got 5% equity, and the beautiful mess of coordinating signatures with trusts, partners, and a very tired Josh who went to bed at 7:30 PM. Oh, and if you're a high-income earner looking to offset taxes — the boys talk depreciation and short-term rental loopholes too. Grab a wine (hopefully worth $460 like Colin’s), and enjoy the banter.

🔑 Key Topics :

💸 No Money Down... Or Is It?

How they bought a $3.6M deal with $3K out of pocket — and why that’s not exactly “free real estate.”

👨‍⚕️ Locums Life & Sleep Goals

Josh’s 11-hour coma, energy drinks, and travel anesthesia grind.

🥳 Fiesta Neighbors & $500 Wine

Colin's neighbors throw better parties than most weddings. Perks: loud music, cupcakes, and luxury wine.

✍️ The Signature Struggle

Why getting everyone to sign a deal is harder than herding caffeinated cats.

🏡 Short-Term Rentals & Tax Loopholes

Why short-term rentals might be the move for high-income W2 folks (and how depreciation works, simplified).

💰 Bonus Depreciation Breakdown

The legal trick that lets you pay no taxes (for now), and how it’s phasing out fast.

🏦 Investor Equity Math

$75K = 5% equity. The logic, fairness, and long-term strategy behind the split.

🙃 The Least Sleazy Community Ever™

A future IRN real estate community that’s honest, helpful, and definitely not trying to upsell you.
