Summary

With his job as a garbage man, Jeff Taz doesn’t get paid if he doesn’t work, so having another source of income was critical. Over the years, Jeff has faced some tough situations where his rental income allowed him to take time off without stressing about paying the bills.

On this episode, Jeff shares how he built his portfolio by sticking to a simple strategy, buying one property a year. We talk about how he saved for down payments, what his numbers look like today, and we walk through exactly how he grew his portfolio from nothing to where it is now.
