If you go on to any “real estate investing” TikTok page, they say the same thing: use other people’s money, wait for the crash, interest rates will go down…and that’s not even the worst of the advice. This type of real estate advice will make investors broke, put them in riskier positions, and stop them from retiring (early) with rental properties. I should know, I became financially free in just over a decade of real estate investing, and I didn’t follow ANY of the advice I’ll mention in today’s episode. If you’re about to buy a property with negative cash flow or skip small rentals and go right to the big buildings (multifamily), do not skip this video. Following any of this so-called investing “advice” could push you back ten, twenty, or thirty years from financial freedom, while the rest of the real investors hit their early retirement in just a decade. In This Episode We Cover Why you should not buy a “negative cash flow” rental and plan for appreciation Buying rentals with none of your own money? Here’s who should and shouldn’t do it The “passive income” myth that catches many “investors” completely off guard Why Dave never quit his job for real estate (and you probably shouldn’t either) Is BRRRR actually…dead? Why everyone has these “dead” strategies all wrong And So Much More!
