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 video. If you’re about to buy an investment 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 a further ten, twenty, or thirty years from financial freedom,* while the rest of the real investors hit their early retirement in just a decade.
