Building Passive Income through Real Estate and Stock Market

Want to retire early? You don’t have to wait until age sixty-five. With a few cash-flowing assets and smart money moves, you could accelerate your path to retirement and enjoy your riches much sooner than you thought possible!

Welcome back to the BiggerPockets Money podcast! Derek has worked hard to build a $1.7 million net worth and a portfolio of six rental properties. The only problem? He wants to retire at age fifty. In this episode, Mindy and expert investor David Greene from the BiggerPockets Real Estate podcast work together to get Derek on the fastest path to early retirement. If he plays his cards right—redeploying some of his “lazy” home equity, increasing his cash flow, and starting a profitable business or side hustle—he could reach FIRE in just seven years!

Are you wary of today’s sky-high mortgage rates? We share an investing strategy that allows you to buy real estate notes at a deep discount and potentially acquire properties that are worth so much more! You’ll also learn how to use your 401(k) retirement funds today without incurring tax penalties. Finally, you’ll hear about the power of starting a business and reinvesting your profits!
