I admit I got cocky

Instead of sticking with the game plan and focusing on building passive income investments, I let the big money cloud my vision ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ At 10:00 a.m. on a Wednesday morning, a guy showed up at my door and said, “Hey, I just came from the courthouse. I bought your house. When can you get out?” It was a week away from the birth of my fourth child. He tells me he’s giving the house to his sister, who lives down the block. “You might even know her.” I did. Here I was, this “savvy financial genius” who thought he was financially free, and my house had foreclosed on me. My flaws were on display to the whole neighborhood like a big teenage zit on the tip of my nose. I gave the guy two thousand dollars so we could stay in the house until our baby was born, which we knew could happen any day. I got cocky. I fell for the appreciation double whammy. Instead of sticking with the game plan and focusing on building passive income investments, I let the big money cloud my vision. The idea of flipping houses for big gains sounds exciting. I mean, who wouldn’t be excited about buying a house, selling it a couple of years later, and doubling your money? Let's not be this guy... But when the housing market collapses or there’s a stock market scare, all of your equity is locked up in a house, and you’re stuck like a construction worker glued to an I-beam in a Krazy Glue commercial. That’s why focusing on cash flow is your long-term best bet. It isn’t flashy and adrenaline pumping, but at least you aren’t homeless days before bringing a new life into this world. It’s the safest way to become financially free. That’s what I specialize in. That’s what I can show you how to do with the least amount of risk possible. Many people who come to me have the mindset that investing in real estate is too much like gambling. And it is if you chase the big flip. “I’m a conservative investor,” they say. But the conservative investor is just a comfortable saver. And we all know how saving your money will turn out come time to retire. If you have doubts and fears that real estate is a gamble, I completely understand. That’s what I thought until my eyes were opened to the possibilities. The allure of the big flip quickly went away when I started getting those small monthly deposits in my bank account that I didn’t have to grind fifty hours a week to receive. One investment won’t give you financial freedom unless you live in a van down by the river. Sorry, I couldn't resist including this one. BUT, start stacking investment properties or scaling the amount invested, and you quickly realize how financial freedom doesn’t have to be a “someday” kind of dream. It’s a “now” kind of reality. Hit reply if that gets your wheels turning.
