Episode notes
Early Wins Aren't Instant Wealth
- Buying a first rental is the hardest step, but it doesn't immediately make you rich.
- The real question becomes how to turn a few rentals into life-changing wealth over time.
Bought Distressed, Paid The Time Cost
- Henry bought 30 doors in two years by buying distressed properties that needed work.
- He found the rehab timeline and costs made replacing his income take longer than expected.
