So let's get started with you, man, because, you know, obviously you are very driven in what you do. You don't reach this type of success without being driven.

Chapter 6: What strategies did Avery use for successful real estate investing?
Okay, growing up, I grew up in a small town in Mississippi called Starkville, Mississippi. The only notable thing. Mississippi State? Mississippi State University, yes. I was going to say, that's the only notable thing is a very crappy, sorry dad, SEC football team. I say that as my alma mater, Texas, just got really embarrassingly whooped by Ohio State.
Chapter 7: What are Avery's top tips for short-term rental success?
Yes, they did. It was so bad. Should they have started Arch Manning? Should they have gone with Arch in that game?
I think they probably should have because, you know, the other guy who I can't remember his name went to Ohio State and they knew everything about him because he transferred from there.
Oh, my gosh. That's right. I didn't even think about that aspect of it, which is shocking that I didn't see that. And it's funny that you being from that part of the world, obviously you went to Texas, which was interesting. But let's talk about you growing up. So you grew up in this small town. What do mom and dad do?
My dad is a chiropractor. My mom is a stay-at-home mom.
Okay, mom's a, okay, so dad, chiropractor. Is he one of the, like, I can cure the common cold by cracking your back chiropractor?
No, no, he's a, let's, your neck hurts, let's straighten you out kind of guy. Pretty straightforward.
You know what I'm talking about. There's the voodoo chiropractors with the gongs and stuff, and then there's the, let me just straighten you out.
Yeah. So he's on the state board in Mississippi and I've heard some of those stories of like chiropractors presenting themselves as like neurologists.
Yeah. Like, Oh, you have the flu. I can crack your back and it can make you better.
