The high cost of living makes saving and investing challenging, but the author achieved financial freedom through real estate investing, acquiring nearly 300 rental properties without using personal funds. This journey involved four phases. Initially, the author recognized their predicament and transitioned from a corporate job to real estate to gain more family time and reduce tax burdens. In Phase 2, the author educated themselves on real estate investing, despite lacking initial knowledge and confidence. Resources like the BiggerPockets podcast and various books were instrumental, and today, many resources, including the Faster Freedom Show, are available for learning. Phase 3 emphasized the importance of implementation, as knowledge alone isn't sufficient. The author attended local meetups with active investors and learned the 'BRS' method from a local investor, which helped them acquire 300 properties. In Phase 4, the focus was on turning investing into a passive income machine by implementing a lead generation system for consistent deal flow and utilizing free lead generation methods like connecting with wholesalers. Responsibilities were outsourced to create passive wealth, and project managers were hired to handle time-consuming tasks. A system for finding funding sources was also implemented. The author highlighted the importance of both short-term and long-term funding for real estate deals, with private lenders and hard money lenders being key for short-term funding, and small local banks ideal for long-term funding.
