742: How to Achieve Financial Freedom Through Real Estate in 4 Steps

Financial freedom is the goal we’re all after. Whether you want to replace your nine-to-five income, retire your spouse or family members, spend more time with your loved ones, or just have enough money to travel the world, reaching financial independence is truly the American dream. And the wisest, most stable way to find financial freedom? Real estate investing! For generations, rental property investing has been the foundation of many millionaires’ portfolios, and you can repeat their path with four simple steps.

To give you the complete rundown on the four steps to financial freedom, we’ve got Dave Meyer, VP of Data and Analytics and host of On the Market, on the show. Dave embodies the financially-free life most people dream of. He lives abroad, chooses to work, and eats copious amounts of sandwiches every day. But what most people don’t see is the decade of hard work and dedication that Dave put in to get up to this point. 

Dave will explain exactly how to calculate the passive income you need to find financial freedom, where to start investing in real estate, how to analyze a real estate deal from scratch, and the one tool that EVERY investor can use to build a rental property portfolio faster.
