Owning rentals could help you become financially free, afford you more time with family, and allow you to travel the world. Whether you’re stuck in a career you dislike or you need a more flexible job, you’re about to learn that real estate investing could be your golden ticket!

Welcome back to the "Real Estate Rookie" podcast! Despite earning six-figure salaries as engineers, Emily Love and her husband were stressed, exhausted, and dissatisfied at their nine-to-five jobs. So, with the goal of one day trading their W2s for financial freedom, they set out to buy their first rental property. Little did they know that ONE deal would quickly snowball into a real estate portfolio with twelve doors—allowing them to leave their engineering careers behind and replace their income with a concoction of cash flow from rentals, co-hosting, and consulting!

Do you dream of leaving your job and becoming a full-time real estate investor? You won’t want to miss this episode! Emily shares how she reverse-engineered her cost-of-living number to set clear investing goals, used the profits from her first property to build her portfolio, and created multiple streams of income in her real estate business!
