In this episode, I share the story of how I've had to essentially pick THREE different markets to continue my journey as a RE investor.

I also explain why this decision is the FOUNDATION of all your other actions...

And provides the SOLUTIONS to a lot of your questions.

Ever since I stumbled upon “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”, I knew what my goal was. 

Passive Income.

I lost focus of that goal many times, and it wasn’t until years later that I actually bought my first rental property. 

It was a little one bedroom house. The seller only wanted 19K (This was 6 years ago or so, when things were still cheap. Plus this wasn’t the greatest part of town).

I told my then-business partner that I wanted to buy it. I wanted to finally take the plunge and create that passive income I had always been craving.

I also offered to go in on it with him 50/50. 

He hesitated. It would be his first rental as well. Having never taken ownership of anything, he feared that we would screw something up and lose money. 

Honestly, I felt the exact same way. I was scared shitless. I was really hoping he would partner with me so we could share the risk.

But I said to him: “I’m buying it, with or without you. Are you in or...

New Podcast is Live!

This is part one of a series where I go over exactly how to find the money for your next (or first) rental property...

(The BIG elephant in the room that holds most people back)

In today's episode, I share my story on how I came to VIEW the process of finding the money DIFFERENTLY, and how that one shift in mindset made the whole process easy for me from then on. 

Check it out!

I coach and consult with people all the time. Want to know what their #1 goal always is?

Freedom. 

They want to spend their days as they please.

More time for hobbies, friends, family, leisure, passions. 

Sometimes, they think they want tons of money.. But as we dig deeper, we always discover that the money is only something that they are planning to use to get all of the above. 

Then, they usually ask me how to build a huge flipping or wholesaling business. Their goal is to make tons of money doing that, and then use the money to get freedom.

I tell them that it rarely works that way.

Most of the time, and also in my experience, building high-volume businesses like that actually TAKES AWAY from your freedom. 

Yes, it might give you freedom from your job. You can definitely use it to quit your job and become an entrepreneur. 

But that’s a different goal than the one they originally stated they wanted. 

Becoming an entrepreneur DOES equal freedom...

What's up guys!

Had an amazing call with our Freedom Artists group a few weeks ago and wanted to share it with you on the 12 Houses To Freedom show.

In the coaching call, I went over the VITALLY IMPORTANT first steps you must do...

BEFORE you start really taking action, buying houses, etc.

I talk to a lot of new investors who are hanging out and learning about investing.

They often ask a lot of questions about finding deals, analyzing deals, and finding the money.

I’ll reply with “have you picked your market yet?”

Often they either haven’t considered this question, or they are planning on investing in a market where the #’s don’t even work (at least in this crazy day of age we call 2019).

Everything HINGES upon you picking a good market to invest in. 

It’s like picking a stock that people haven’t discovered yet (so you can make a ton of money)…

You want to find a city where the #’s look good for cashflow….

AND the city is poised for rapid growth and appreciation.

You want to find the next Nashville, Portland, Austin, or Denver.

A city that’s getting “cool” but isn’t quite that cool yet :)

Meaning prices are still CHEAP.

There’s also a handful of other REALLY...

Hey guys! So today's podcast is a little bit different...

I find myself coaching a lot of people on how to be an ENTREPRENEUR lately...

Because when I ask them what they'd do during their "Perfect Day"...

A lot of people tell me they'd start a business that helps people in some way. 

Then I say "How about we do that NOW and have that pay for some of your bills?"

The fastest path to freedom is paying the bills through a combination of both PASSION and PASSIVE income.

This episode is Part 3 of 3 where I teach some basic fundamentals you MUST know if you're going to succeed with this.
