Episode notes
Lifestyle Investing Defined
- Lifestyle investing means buying income-producing assets that free your time rather than trading time for money.
- Once you buy your time back you can focus on impact, fulfillment, and passion.
Mobile Home Parks Created Surplus Income
- Justin started with mobile home parks because they produced steady monthly recurring cashflow that exceeded living costs.
- That surplus allowed him to reinvest 100% of extra income and accelerate wealth building.
Pick Assets By Time And Skill
- Choose assets based on your skills, time availability, and whether you want the highest return or the most time back.
- If you lack time, favor passive LP investments with proven sponsors; if you have time, consider real estate or buying a business.
