We are now parents in our mid 30’s🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏼‍♂️ Tips we would offer to someone in their mid 20’s: 1. Drink more water 2. Avoid car payments 3. Read “Simple Path to Wealth” 4. Walk more 5. Learn from older people 6. Quality friends > quantity of friends What would you add?

If a person makes $16 per hour after taxes? Their $425/mo car payment is not just another payment "everyone" has. It's 318 hours a year (13 full days) of life being traded for a thing that loses 60% of it's value & sits empty 85% of the day. Time > Things

Sunday scaries don’t exist when your investments pay the bills. Not saying everyone should or needs to retire early. But being work optional 100% helps solve a lot of life stress.

We bought this property for $158k using 5% down back in 2018. Today it rents for $2,545 & would sell for ~$250,000. We’re not selling & will hold long term. We know eventually it will rent for $2,850 & be worth $300,000. Buy & hold real estate is the way 🏡

You can buy the $250k duplex with 3.5% down, move in & use rent to pay most of the bills. You can repeat in 2 years using 5% down. That’s a ~$500,000 rental portfolio. Manage it well, let other people pay off the loans etc. Let time turn a $500k portfolio into ~$1 million 👍🏻

Imagine at age 27 deciding to invest $650/mo into low cost index funds. Imagine doing this until age 60 & having $257,000 of your money invested. Now imagine that portfolio being worth ~$1.4 million. Your money made you $1 million passively👌🏻

Did you know the monthly payment on a $250,000, 30 year fixed rate 7% mortgage is the same as a $308,000 mortgage at 5.5%? What do you think this will mean for home prices in 2025?

Myth: You need 25% down to buy rental real estate. Fact: Down payments we have used: 5% 3.5% 10% 10% 10% 8% 8% If someone tells you 25% is mandatory? They’re wrong.

A broke couple lives like they make $170,000 but they only make $90,000. A rich couple makes $170,000 but only spends $90,000. Spot the difference.

There is more to life than driving 40 minutes each way to then sit at a desk 8 hours a day. And doing that 50 weeks out of the year for the next 30+ years.

We began buying rental properties at the end of 2018. Since that time our portfolio has grown to 16 units worth ~$1.85 million. Our progression: 2018- 2 units 2020- 4 units 2022- 7 units 2023- 11 units 2024- 16 units It takes time but the cash flow snowball is growing📈
