Who We Are, Where We’ve Been, Where We’re Going and How We Plan to Get There
On this, our very first episode of The Road to Family Freedom, we’re going to give an introduction to who we are, where we are going with all this and what you can expect to learn going forward.
- First Episode. What it’s all about? Building financial and location independence through investing in real estate. But not every path is going to be right for you and your family.
- What do you want your life to look like once you get there is a critically important question to ask.
- The life of a house flipper is going to be very different from the life of a large multi-family syndicator.
- How much knowledge did it take for our guests to get started in their particular real estate niche? Did they hire mentors?
- How long did it take before they did their first deal?
- How much money did it take for our guests to get started with their chosen strategy? A little or a lot?
- Did they have any strategies for overcoming a lack of money?
- Did they raise private money?
- How much time does their chosen strategy take now? Is it completely passive?
- Are there bursts of activity followed by periods of passiveness?
- Is it a full-time effort?
- Do they have any strategies for overcoming a lack of time?
- How location-dependent is their strategy? Could they do it from anywhere in the world?
- Who we are? A family on a journey toward financial and location independence
- Why financial independence? W-2 income is a single point of failure
- With financial freedom comes the peace of mind of not having to trade your time for money. You can now do it for the love of doing whatever it is you choose to do.
- Why location independence? We love to travel and want to show our young son the world. Collect experiences, not things.
- Friends and family all over the country
- Geo-arbitrage. Once your income is separated from your location, it opens up a world of possibilities of places to live.
- Why we are doing this? We want other families to learn from us and our guests.
- We are further along than many but way behind many of our guests. We have a successful short-term rental that gives us some passive income.
- Neil has been on the general partnership on multi-family real estate valued at over $24 million.
- We want to learn from them and we want you to learn right along with us.
- Success leaves clues. A road map to follow
