Episode notes

The key to financial freedom? Work as a pizza delivery driver! Not only will you learn how to handle high-pressure situations, but you might also find your next property on a regular pizza run! At least that’s what Pamela Bardhi did to build her twenty-seven-unit rental property portfolio and reach financial independence in her late twenties! Pamela’s family moved to the United States when she was just five years old, thrusting her into the restaurant business before she realized that real estate was her true passion.

Pamela did everything right. She studied hard, got scholarships, worked at internships, and built her own business, but she was still miserable. Working every day of the week, often twelve hours at a time, was eating away at her. She wanted some side income to help her dial back the time spent building her business, but when her first deal turned into a $100,000 profit, the property game was too enticing to resist. Since then, she’s scaled to massive heights and wants you to do the same.

With twenty-seven rental units, over one hundred deals done, and a financially free lifestyle by thirty-one, Pamela knows what it takes to build a property portfolio FAST. But she also knows what can make it crumble. Pamela shares her three BIGGEST lessons learned from doing over one hundred deals and how she turned delivering pizzas into a passive income stream that will create generational wealth for her whole family.
