We all want to increase our income, but for many of us, it's not as simple as getting a raise or taking on another job. Until recently, this was the case for me too. But then I discovered real estate investing and changed my financial future in just 18 months! In this blog post, I'm going to share with you how I bought 4 rental properties in 18 months and what you can do so that your money works for you too.

When I began my journey into real estate investing, I started by taking money out of my 401K from my past career that I wasn’t using. After running the numbers and seeing the potential returns that real estate could give me compared to my 401K, I decided it was time to invest in something more lucrative. So, I bought my first rental property using that money. Then six months later, I used a cash out refi to purchase another rental property and continued down this path until ultimately buying two more properties.

After doing this, I was able to use the money that was originally sitting in my 401K to create passive income for me and my family every month! What made this possible? By running the numbers and understanding the market - which is an essential step for any investor - ,I knew exactly where to look for properties with good returns. This allowed me to make smarter investments rather than relying on luck or guesswork.

It's clear from my story that real estate investing can be an incredibly powerful tool if done correctly. Researching the market is key because it will help you make smarter investments based on facts rather than gut instinct alone. Additionally, don't forget to run the numbers yourself before making any decisions - especially when it comes to taking money out of your 401K! Taking these steps will help ensure that your money works for you instead of against you!
