Hey everyone, as Coach, I have a special announcement for you if you're listening to this the week that the episode comes out.

I'm teaching a free live webinar on Thursday, September the 10th, called Five Steps to Get Unstuck and Off the Ground in Real Estate Investing.

If you're just getting started investing or maybe you're getting back in the game, this webinar will help you get clear on the next most important steps to take.

Plus, I'm going to share a real-life case study to demonstrate some of those steps for yourself.

Now let's get started with the show.

Our goal for year one was to get one property. We got seven and our our second goal was to be

like on a podcast. So I was like, I don't know if this is going to happen. But like look at us.

You know, so your dreams are, you know, always set your dreams high, expectations high, because you, you know, you can reach them and bypass that.

Welcome to the real estate and financial independence podcast.

My name is Chad Carson. You can call me coach. And this is a show all about investing in real estate, achieving financial independence and doing more of what matters. Thank you for joining me for another episode. If it's your first time here, welcome. If it's not your first time here, welcome back. It's always great to have you. The topic today is the journey from zero to

seven investment properties in one year. I got to interview Rhonda and Brian Swanigan. They live in the

Dallas-Fort Worth area. Really amazing couple and amazing on a lot of different levels. I learned so

much just about their journey of starting from scratch and what they learned, what they studied, who they networked with, how they built their team, how they found their first deals, some of the mistakes they made, some of the lessons that they quickly applied. I think you're going to be really impressed, whether you're brand new and just starting, whether you're just always trying to improve and up your game, this is going to be a great interview.

And they're sharing the real estate lessons, but also what it takes as a couple to get through all the ups and downs of the challenges of being a real estate investor and doing that together.

But just like I do every week, I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you as

the listeners and to feature one of you who left a review either on Apple podcast or YouTube or whatever your

favorite podcast player might be. I give away every single week a copy of my book,
