"Why real estate?

By having a 'why' you want something, it'll help keep you motivated to pursue your goals when setbacks and mistakes occur.

For our family, we wanted passive income streams.

Passive income gives you options. I love options.

It doesn't matter if you want to work forever, retire early, or change careers, multiple income sources can make it happen.

Our passive income is not only tax-free, but we're also able to access it if needed, unlike traditional retirement accounts."
