MANY people invest in real estate for financial freedom. Unfortunately, not all investors get there. The truth is that a little cash flow won’t allow you to quit your W2 job or support an early retirement. You need a LOT of cash flow, or you need a bigger portfolio!

Welcome back to the Real Estate Rookie podcast! With two college degrees and a successful career, Dan Marklin had what many people envy in life.

It wasn’t long before Dan had dived headfirst into the world of real estate investing, buying his very first rental property.
