    Basically, create a passive income, but DO NOT rely on what you made from that for your living. Continue making money for yourself outside of your passive income.

    couldn't agree more with you man. You hit it all spot on.
    I feel like a lot of folks who watch your channel may not have enjoyed or been as well paid at their jobs.
    That is probably one reason why many people are eager to leave work, but sometimes are short sighted about leaving work.
    I quit my job too early as well and I regretted leaving before I maxed out the 10 loan limit personally.
    This is really good advice.

    What I’ve found in the overall current economic climate that 100k / year w2 really isn’t getting people very far anymore. Taxes, inflation, etc is crushing (by design) the middle class.
    I know people making 70-80k w2 / year which has to have second jobs just to make ends meat.
    It’s shameful that this is what this country has become.

    Once you reach earning 10k+ it's time to set up a S-corp and put yourself on payroll. Then you have the necessary W2 to go to the bank and apply for a loan. If you're married it helps if the spouse can work until you can get everything stable.

    I have two duplexes and I did all the work on all of my properties by myself and it’s still hard and takes planning to be profitable
    Definitely not something that happens overnight and in these markets. It’s a TON of work even once you have good tenants ( the hardest part) because you have to keep them happy. There’s nothing that’s truly passive
    Also it sounds like you make enough to get a better barber

    Great vid. I wish you (or anyone) would put out a vid stressing the necessity of buying the right rental. My first purchase sucked all my free time out of 10 years of my life, for no profit, but it taught me a LOT about tenants, property mgmnt companies, contractors, as well as how to actually identify and perform a lit of the repairs on my own. Since I got rid of that about 10 years ago, I have increased my net worth from $50k, to 1.5 mill and am a better landlord.

    I paid too much for a coaching program and they encouraged their students to be action takers and be able to quit their 9 to 5. Many quit to become mortgage agents, realtors, property managers. Now working 7 days a week instead of 5. I have a government job with a really good pension at the end and they still encouraged me to quit.

    After 15 years of buy and hold method and although it’s going better now, I don’t think I would ever understand what he’s talking about prior to getting into real estate but only today looking back do I realize how difficult it was for me. Having children and a family and risking health insurance. Real Estate is far far far from passive income. Even if you do syndication or have a staff member… Nothing is passive.

      It’s about finding successful nearby Airbnb’s and mapping out what common characteristics they have and seeing if for sale properties have the framework to satisfy those conditions and take it a step further. It’s not rocket science just takes a lot of digging and attention to detail. Happy to chat if you want to discuss further.

    Seems like a risky time to buy anyway. Houses are overpriced based on economic data so if there's a recession and people travel/airbnb/ less, and all of a sudden you can't cover the mortgage and you're looking at selling for 80% of what you paid...

    As someone with 30+ doors and has been a real estate investor for 8 years. Rentals make over 250k a year, 3.5m portfolio. I still work a federal job 85k a year. It's EXTREMELY difficult to find deals. There pretty much arent any. I had to do live in flips, sweat equity, driving for deals, and get very lucky to be where I am at today. In todays market. It's impossible. Hoard cash until the market drops. I'm sitting on 500k in a red state, and everything is just too expensive.

    If you are saving money, the banks make money at 10-1 rate and you take all the risk and they take none. If you borrow money? The banks take the risk and lose money because you are doing to them what they do to most people. And the explanation if FAR outside the scope of a simple comments section reply. But I'm right and this is why getting that loan is so difficult, and it's not why most people think.

    Question for Rob and the Rob community. Recently rented an AirBnb in Rio de Janeiro. Place had great ratings, fantastic location and all the amenities I wanted. Everything seemed great, until I got there. The pictures must have been at least 3 years old judging from the wear and tear. The hot water only occasionally got decently warm. Kitchen utensils with missing handles. Old stains on the bedding. And roaches. I saw at least 2 roaches per day. I would have put up with ALL of this (different country, lower standards, etcetera) until I washed the fitted sheet on the bed. The mattress was like something out of a nightmare. Literally looked like they found it on the side of the road. Like I literally saw another mattress on the side of the road that looked better. My question is should I leave a review that would likely destroy this persons business? Or give this person a private message saying how messed up this is and terrible of them as a host to do this to potential guests.

    • @seasidesc2684
