A preschool teacher turned rental property millionaire!? You wouldn’t believe it at first. How could someone like Anne Curry go from making five dollars per hour to bringing in five figures’ worth of rent checks every month? While it didn’t happen overnight, Anne’s story is one that’s repeatable by almost everyone, no matter where you’re starting financially, how much education you have, or your background.
Anne was never destined to be rich. She grew up in a household of non-profit workers, teachers, and those that expected to give more than they got. So when Anne married her husband, a social worker, she knew their chance of owning a home, let alone several, was slim to none. But, her fire for financial freedom and generational wealth never stopped burning, and as soon as she could purchase her first property, she made the jump that changed the course of her life.
Now, as an affordable housing landlord with hundreds of units, Anne is on a mission to not only build wealth but help others follow her same path. She went from having very little money to an astonishingly large real estate portfolio simply by asking questions, offering help, and having a tenacious attitude to build up others, not just her bank account. She explains how ANY landlord can get into affordable housing, the massive benefits that this type of investing offers, and the common myths most people get wrong about section 8 and guaranteed rent.
