It was always to not go to my job. Like for me, corporate America was not a place I ever intended to be or wanted to be and how I ended up there as long as I was. I'll never understand it. So I shifted the focus from making money independent of a job so I could sustain myself to eliminating the need for money so that that was no longer the drive and house hacking provided

that.

Your biggest expense is the place you live.

You go to work every day to put a roof over your head.

If you could eliminate that expense, you know, what different choices would you be able to make?

Yeah. would you be able to make. Welcome to the real estate and financial independence podcast.

I'm your host, Chad Carson.

You can also call me a coach,

and this is a show all about helping you get out of the financial grind

all about her path and the steps she took. Some of them kind of accidental at first, using her residence to

buy a fixer-upper, but also to start house hacking it, and then using her residents to kind of

and her partner have done is they've done it with very few properties, but yet produce a lot of cash flow,

and been able to get this foundation of flexibility, freedom to do what they want, when they want, without having this huge empire of properties. So she's sort of the epitome of the small and mighty investor, and I can't wait for you to hear more details about her story.

where I share a short snippet of what's going on with me
