Hi, I'm Mercedes Torres.

I help busy professionals acquire passive income through real estate investing so they can retire even faster.

So let's say you have $50,000 from an old 401k or maybe an IRA, and it's sitting there stagnant. What to do? Do you buy one

property or do you get a bank loan and buy two properties? Let me tell you what I do. I maximize leverage. I buy properties using bank loans

so that I can diversify not only my portfolio, but I can multiply my cash flow. So two bank loans, two properties,

two rental incomes, two tenants, two different properties completely that will allow your cash flow not only to

grow but think about the tax benefits that you're getting with two properties as opposed to

just one.

So the real question is, how do you maximize $50,000

that you may have available in an old 401k plan?

So let me show you how it's done. First, find money that's available in a savings
