Have you ever heard that you are the average of the 5 people you surround yourself with? Well I believe the same to be true with the thoughts and media we surround ourselves with. I never felt I was born a genius or particularly gifted in intelligence. But I am positive that the habit of reading (or listening to) books has vastly improved my mind and critical thinking. I attribute a large majority of my success to my habit of listening to audiobooks. I feel my life is constantly uplifted and inspired by books.

When Dan got married 20 years ago, he and his wife thought they would have one or maybe two kids. Before they knew it they had 5 kids under the age of five years old. The struggle was real. Five kids then became seven kids. The challenge was not that they had a bunch of kids, but rather that they had not developed a unified vision,...they lacked, the tools, the communication systems, and on and on... They quickly got advice. They searched far and wide. They drove across the States to hang out with some of the coolest parents and their kids [props to Boyd & Lori Dellinger as well as a few others]…simply to learn from them. They were blown away at how some families were able to craft such a powerful vision for life and execute on the strategy necessary to enjoy their life’s finest work, their family. They collected books, attended conferences, and all the while as they learned, they also helped others in marriage and parenting. They’ve counseled marriages, created discipleship courses, spoken at events and coached people with passion and great satisfaction. It has truly become a great passion of theirs. All this has massively impacted the way they parent their now young adult kids and how they are preparing this next generation of world changers to become mighty men and women.

Yesterday was my 30th birthday and also Sunmarie and I's 10-year anniversary! I am happy to announce that after 5 years of concerted effort, Sunmarie and I have achieved 105% Financial Independence! The last 5 years have been a whirlwind, we went from: $0 to $2+ Million in Real Estate Assets 0 to 12 rental units We started Airbnb's, Turo Rental Car Business, Amazon FBA Business $0 to $218,000 in Gross Passive Income 2 salary incomes to a single income 0 to 3 kids https://www.famvestor.com/059 In the last five years, we've bought 4 properties (12 Units). We House-hacked each one, starting with a 4-fam, then 3-fam, then another 4-fam, and now a single fam. With each purchase, we bought more and more of our freedom. What is incredible is that we now own $2 Million Dollars in Real Estate, and my wife and I did it all on one income, no borrowing from friends and family, just a single government-employee salary and conventional lending. We bought them for down payments of $43k (10%) + $52.5k (15%) + $124k (20%) + $36K (10%) + $40k (Total closing Costs) = $296K So for $296k we've been able to leverage all this real estate to now bring in over $200K a year in Gross Rents. From this rent we are pretty much financially independent already - but once the mortgages are paid off - we'll have an additional $83K a year of Net Positive Cash Flow we will get to keep. I love real estate... We get cash flow from rent from leveraged assets and in less than 30 years we will have these free and clear, cash-flowing assets that have been paid off by our tenants. Not to mention the appreciation and tax deductions that come with real estate as well... I'm not saying its been an easy path, not in the slightest, we've had to make sacrifices: Wife and I lived in a small bedroom in a house with 9 adults and just 1 bathroom so we could save that initial $43k downpayment. Raising a family of 5 in less than 1000sqft apartments we would house hack. We are starting to enjoy the fruits of our efforts, two months ago we were able to buy a great home for our family without sacrificing our freedom. It's not lavish or extravagant, but it has a backyard with a creek running through it. It backs up to a lake, with woods and a swimming beach and it's on a Culdesac. We and our kids couldn't be more excited! and the best part is, the rent we will be getting from the unit we move out of will cover the mortgage on our new property! Hope this didn't come off as too braggy, we definitely are proud of what we've accomplished, but more so want to inspire others and show that it can be done, and it is so worth it! And that you really don't need an empire to buy your freedom, just a few strategic househacks. So wait on your dream home, buy a househack, read my case-study to see how: www.FamVestor.com/Triplex    

Half a year ago we bought a minivan, I debated selling our 2009 Toyota Yaris, which became an extra third car, but instead decided to rent it out on TURO. In the last 6-months, I have made $2750 by renting out the car. If I sold the car I probably could have only gotten $3500 for it. So by the end of the year, I will have made more than I could have sold it for, and I will have a Semi-Passive Income Generating Machine that will continually roll in profits. On today's episode, we discuss the ins and outs of TURO, and whether this Side Hustle could be for you. Enjoy! https://www.famvestor.com/058
