Ashley Hamilton had every card stacked against her in achieving financial freedom. She was a single mother with two children, earning just $20,000 per year working as a waitress, living in Detroit, one of the hardest-hit markets following the Great Financial Crisis.

Sixteen years later, she’s making $50,000 per month in pure cash flow (and she has the receipts to prove it)!

In Detroit, foreclosures were running rampant, houses were being repossessed left and right, but what could she do with almost no disposable income? Thanks to a $6,000 tax refund check, Ashley did what everyone told her not to do—buy a house during the crash. Fortune favors the bold, and Ashley was soon making $7,000 per year in cash flow from a single property. It was time to repeat the system and buy more rentals. With each tax refund, a new property was acquired, and get this—without using a mortgage.

Ashley scaled fast thanks to her super-saver mentality, and now makes more passive income in one month than many people do in a year. She’s done it all with fewer rental properties, striving to have more cash flow instead of more doors. She’s walking through her portfolio, breaking down which properties make the most, and how to scale beyond financial freedom, no matter your starting point.
