Alan grew up with public school teachers as parents, so he saw wealth as a child, but he never had any. That's why he wanted to have a million bucks by 30 – and write a book about it! He started this journey right after college, at the age of 21 or 22. Alan's first step was to live off a small percent of what he was making. How did he save so much? He “hid” money from himself by having his HR department send a huge percent to a bank across town (remember, this was 20 years ago). Every January 1st, he would go see what was in there and use it as a down payment on a property. His first amount was $10,000, which he used to buy a $99,600 condo in Brooklyn (when no one wanted to buy real estate in a post-9/11 New York City). Lauren can't help but ask the question: was it hard? Alan made everything a game and kept his future self in mind. And he's really good at delayed gratification. Back to that first condo, Alan rented out his living room in an early version of house hacking! Then, the two transition to talking about life after becoming a millionaire. Both agree you should be frugal to start as you set your foundation. They also emphasize growing your income at the same time if you can. As you grow your wealth, more doors open, but you have to start somewhere! Finally, Alan and Lauren talk about their new venture with Tom the Frugal Gay called House Money Media. If you liked thisepisode, you'll also like episode 85 with Tom Brickman the Frugal Gay about how he became FI and left his day job. About Alan: Alan Corey started with a $99,000 condo at the age of 22, Alan has had a passion for real estate for half of his life. He grew his net worth to $1,000,000 by the age of 28 and was able to retire from the corporate world to focus on real estate full-time. Currently “maxing out” in real estate, he now manages a $50 million dollar portfolio of over 300+ doors, is a top-producing Atlanta real estate agent, and teaches real estate investors worldwide through books, podcasts, courses, and speaking engagements. His published books on real estate "A Million Bucks by 30" and "House FIRE" have been touted as both very humorous, yet educational and actionable. A "Real Estate Maximalist" through and through, Alan helps investors of all levels transform their life through real estate.

In this episode, Ryan, the host of the "Learn Like a CPA" show, sits down with Tom Brickman, a multifaceted real estate investor with a unique journey. Tom shares his experiences, from selling women's bras on eBay to fund his college education to diving deep into the world of multifamily long-term rentals. Tom's authenticity shines through as he discusses the highs and lows of his real estate journey, including the lessons learned from his initial missteps in the market. His emphasis on being genuine and transparent, especially on platforms like Twitter, has garnered him a significant following and has allowed him to connect with like-minded individuals. Top 3 Takeaways from the Episode: The Power of Authenticity: Tom's success on social media platforms, especially Twitter, can be attributed to his genuine sharing of his journey. Whether it's discussing mistakes, showcasing before-and-after property transformations, or sharing financial numbers, being authentic resonates with audiences. The Importance of Structure in Partnerships: Tom emphasizes the need for clear operating agreements when entering partnerships. Clearly defining roles and expectations can prevent misunderstandings and ensure that all parties are on the same page. Diversifying Investment Strategies: While Tom acknowledges the benefits of cash flow from properties, he also stresses the importance of considering appreciation. His strategy involves investing in both markets that offer good cash flow and those that promise appreciation, ensuring a balanced portfolio.

Today's episode features Tom Brickman aka The Frugal Gay. Tom actually bought his first property at age 21 while working at The Gap making only $8.50/hr. He would go on to buy 20 additional properties. Did he get some huge pay increase? Not really. Tom worked at a movie theater where he started off making $32k and eventually maxed out in the $70k range. He also did this all at a reasonable pace, taking 18 years in total to acquire all of his doors. That's what's so powerful about Tom's story. He never made a ton of money, he didn't buy 10 houses in a year, he didn't take out some crazy loan, and he never got some crazy inheritance. Now he's retired at 39 and is earning double his day job income through real estate and side hustles. If you loved Tom's story as much as we did, please share it with a friend!

In reality there are plenty of people with humble beginnings who found a way to put together enough money to buy rental properties. Tom Brickman (aka The Frugal Gay) is one such investor. While never making 6-figures at his day job - he has been able to build a 19 property portfolio. All stemming from his ability to flip products on Ebay. In this episode Tom breaks down his story and how he was able to achieve financial freedom without ever making more than $80k in his day job.
