Scott Trench

Scott Trench is a real estate investor, broker, writer, and the CEO of BiggerPockets, a large online community and educational platform focused on real estate investing and personal finance. He began investing in property in his early 20s, using many of the same strategies he describes in Set for Life, including frugal living and house hacking. By leveraging aggressive saving, smart real estate purchases, and disciplined investing, he reached financial independence before turning 30.

In addition to his work leading BiggerPockets, Trench cohosts the BiggerPockets Money Podcast, where he interviews investors, entrepreneurs, and everyday people about their financial journeys. Through his leadership role, public speaking, and writing, he continues to advocate for practical, accessible strategies that help people build wealth, reduce financial stress, and gain more control over how they spend their time and energy.
