Summary

Joe Hammel was tired of clocking in at the factory every day, so he decided to bet on himself. He went all in on real estate, and today he earns $10,000 a month in profit from his rentals.

On this episode, Joe breaks down exactly how he built his portfolio. We dig into his numbers, the types of properties that are performing best (and which ones to avoid), and the price ranges and locations that are giving him the best returns. Joe also explains why he focuses on total return, not just cash flow, the systems he uses to manage everything efficiently, and how he finances his purchases. Plus, we analyze one of his recent deals.
