No matter how great you are at finding real estate deals, you could lose everything if you don’t manage your properties correctly.

Story
Many Americans dream of financial freedom, but they're stuck in dead-end jobs and don't know how to get there. You don't need to be one of them. If you invested $35,000 in the stock market today, it could take 52 years for that investment to grow to $1 million. But if you invested that same amount into one single-family $140,000 rental property, it would only take 19 years. With just two rental properties, you could generate $417,000 in profit in just 10 years. Skeptical?

Ninety-five percent of potential real estate investors never buy a single property. Is it because real estate isn’t a sound investment? Is it because they’re priced out the market? No. It’s because they don’t recognize the earning potential in real estate. Nearly 36.6 percent of US households are renting - that’s the biggest percentage since 1965. Now is the golden era for residential real estate investment.
