## Resource

Worried you’ll come up short in retirement? When Brian Waters ran the numbers, he realized he was still decades away from being able to leave his nine-to-five. He needed a lifeline, and he found one in real estate investing. In just five years, he has scaled to 20 rental properties, and against all odds, he’s already on track to retire early! When we last checked in with Brian, he was buying simple, affordable, turnkey properties 2,000 miles away. But recently, he’s pivoted to a “hybrid” investing strategy you’ve probably never heard of, one that’s helping him scale his real estate portfolio even faster. In the past six months alone, he’s added six rentals—all while working full-time, coaching football on the weekends, and staying fully present with his family. Today, Brian shares the highly “repeatable” formula he’s using to tie everything together, makes a convincing case for keeping your W-2 job while you grow your real estate business, and shows you how to use other people’s money (and knowledge) to stack properties much faster than you ever could alone. In This Episode We Cover The “hybrid” investing strategy Brian used to buy six rentals in just six months The underrated benefits of keeping your W-2 job while investing in real estate Leveraging other people’s money (and knowledge) to buy rental properties faster How to find agents, contractors, and property managers for your out-of-state investing team The pros and cons of turnkey rental properties (and who should buy them) And So Much More!
