Kirby Atwell served 6 years as an officer in the US Army, after Graduating from West Point Military Academy. While serving in the military he developed a strong interest in real estate, and he bought his first rental property in 2006. In 2011, he left the service to pursue real estate full time. He started his first real estate investment company, rehabbing over 100 properties either to flip or keep as rentals in the Chicago area. Today, Kirby primarily focuses on investing in high-cash-flowing vacation rental properties. He owns a portfolio of vacation rentals in northern Indiana, where he lives on a 45-acre farm with his wife and young kids. He also helps others who work a full-time job to buy and set up their first high-cash-flowing vacation rental through his signature program called The First Vacation Rental Investment Blueprint. Kirby is the host of the Living Off Rentals podcast and YouTube channel.
