Episode notes

Financial freedom with only a handful of rental properties!? So many real estate investors are convinced that amassing units is the key to bigger profits, but the truth is that a strategy involving fewer doors can be just as—if not more—effective. Today’s guest is an advocate for the “small and mighty” real estate portfolio that allows you to create passive income, pursue your passions, and achieve financial independence on your terms!

Welcome back to another episode of the Real Estate Rookie podcast! Today, we’re sitting down with Chad “Coach” Carson to discuss his latest book, The Small and Mighty Real Estate Investor. Enjoying the flexibility that many rookie investors dream of, Chad and his family live abroad while his property managers handle the day-to-day operations of his rentals stateside—allowing him to spend very little time on his business each week.

If you want to achieve financial freedom without becoming enslaved to your real estate business, this is an episode you won’t want to miss! Chad speaks on creating passive income through real estate, how to enjoy a two-hour workweek, and why accumulating more units shouldn’t be your end goal. He also talks about the three phases in every real estate journey and why the final phase is the key to unlocking your financial independence!
