About EricI'm a 33-year-old real estate professional who achieved the goal of financial independence.Financial independence is achieved when one's passive income exceeds their living expenses. It's when you no longer need to work because your living expenses are completely covered. In essence, you could retire.Unlike the stereotypes, retirement does not mean sitting around and watching reruns of MASH or Matlock all day (like my grandfather did). It also may not mean enjoying beaches or golfing all week long either.Early retirement simply means you are in a financial position to leave the workforce, if you so choose, and pursue any dream or passion that you may have. What you do with your free time is completely up to you.I've spent the last 10 years developing my systems and growing my business until now I have over 480 units of rental property.It's no joke and I'm not pulling your leg...and I started with just one small rental property.You can find Eric at https://idealrei.com/https://idealrei.com/contactYou can find me athttps://peer2peerrealestate.com/www.facebook.com/peer2peerrealestatehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/williemor...Youtube Channel**Peer 2 Peer Real Estate may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you buy something through our links, at no extra cost to you.Thanks to our Partners- Royal Legal Solutions, Rentometer & Landlord StudioTrack income and expenses, screen tenants, set automatic reminders, and more.Try Landlord Studio free for 30 days, no credit card required.

Introducing Rental Income From Property with Eric Bowlin Rental Income From Property with Eric BowlinToday's guest joining us on the Join Up Dots podcast, is Eric Bowlin, a 33 year old and have over 480 doors of rental property. I've travelled to over 14 countries and love to experience new cultures, food, beer, exercising, and improving myself. I'm focused on creating long-term wealth for my family. I sometimes will work for two weeks straight – waking up early and staying up late to get something done. Sometimes I take a month or two vacation for no reason other than to have a new experience. I'm free to travel or live anywhere I may want to go whenever I may want to go. That's the great part about independence, I am free to do what I want. But how did this all start? How did he find the passion to create an income and lifestyle that other people would simply die for? How Eric Started Earning Rental Income From Property Well as he says “It was an accident that I even got into real estate. While studying for my Ph.D. in Economics at Clark University in Worcester, MA, I wanted to buy a home. I almost made the classic blunder of buying a huge liability, but fortunately, I ended up buying a small multifamily property and the rest is history. So is this something that takes a huge amount of investment to get going? And is this something that needs a team to monitor rental, clients, and perhaps the bad clients that people fear? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the only and only Eric Bowlin. Show Highlights During the show we discussed such weighty subjects with Eric Bowlin such as: Why he has moved to Puerto Rico for the tax benefits and how it has made him be able to work less but achieve more. Eric shared how he stumbled into rental simply because he didn't hit the criteria to get a single apartment. We discuss the crisis point when life becomes too easy for someone, after they gain the financial success. What do they aim for then? and lastly…….. Why it so important to surround yourself with the same kind of people that are doing what you are doing. Find your people as quickly as possible.

He sacrificed a lot to get to where he is today, and never stopped planning, preparing, and learning. Eric talks to a many people who have said “I’ve always wanted to invest in real estate, but…”  and he wants to help educate others on what real estate investing actually is and move past the misconceptions. You don’t need a ton of money to buy property. Of course, you need some capital to get started in real estate investing, but not as much as you think. There are many turn-key companies like Roofstock that have affordable properties with excellent returns. Investing is not land lording. Investing is actually buying and holding the property for rent and (hopefully) appreciation. You do not have to be a property manager, you will hire one so don’t get all wrapped up in the “I don’t want to fix leaky toilets” mentality. And, real estate investing isn’t flipping. Flipping homes for profit is a completely different business. Real estate isn’t really that risky. Yes, it is an illiquid asset but otherwise, it is a quite stable market. If you take the time to learn the ins and outs of the real estate market you will make good decisions and investments with great returns. Spend a lot of time finding a good market to invest in. It probably won’t be in your own neighborhood so you’ll need to do your market research on demographics, crime, schools, vacancy rates, and percentage of renters in a neighborhood.
