Today’s guest and I share similar roots – we are both Aerospace
Engineers who jumped careers into entrepreneurship and we both like
to maintain a balance of our left and right brain through our
spiritual studies.
Ali Boone is a 9-to-5 dropout who left a high-paying career as an
Aerospace Engineer to start her own business. She is the founder
of Hipster Investments, a real estate investment
company that flips real estate investing on its head. Not only does
Hipster offer unique investment opportunities that open the door
for anyone to invest in real estate, but Ali has structured Hipster
in such a way that allows her full freedom to create the life of
her dreams.
Ali has Master’s degrees in both Aerospace Engineering and
Spiritual Psychology. She has written over 170 articles for
BiggerPockets—the world’s leading real estate investing website.
She has been featured in Fox Business and The Motley Fool, has over
300k views on her Calculating Rental Property Numbers video on
YouTube, has sold over 200 copies of her Turnkey Rental Properties
101 eBook, and was awarded Top 100 Real Estate Investing Blogs &
Websites on the Web. If you ask Ali what her biggest accomplishment
is though, she’ll tell you it’s that she successfully created a
completely location-independent business that allows her to live
wherever she wants, travel whenever she wants, work whenever she
wants, and most importantly—be her own boss.
Ali’s strengths are in organic business building, passive income,
outsourcing, and lifestyle design. She also does business
consulting where she specializes in looking at the puzzle pieces of
struggling businesses and, using her engineering background and
experience as a successful entrepreneur, helps fit those puzzle
pieces back together in a way that best supports the client and
their business.
When Ali isn’t helping people buy real estate or coaching other
entrepreneurs, she is usually flying airplanes around Santa Monica
(and teaching other people to fly as well), hanging out in the
SoCal outdoors whether it be the beach or the ski slopes, or
volunteering in California prisons. She is also a failed reality
makeover TV star.
Amidst her busy schedule, her ultimate goal is to one-day challenge
Tim Ferriss to a lifestyle design duel.
