🎥 DESCRIPTION
This episode is my bread and butter... it's what I live for... it is the exact playbook for you (or anyone) to buy their first or next rental property! Cam and I have both used this playbook over-and-over-and-over again, and we hope you do too!
Specifically, we talk about:
• why most people never buy their first rental
• lead flow: best free and paid ways to find deals
• creative ways to fund your first deal
• the #1 reason people fail: lack of persistence
• how 15 minutes a day can change your financial future
• and so much more

| 0:39.1 | thousands of dollars in income, just a ridiculously cool life because I own a bunch of rental |
