Story
Rental property is undoubtedly one of the most stable investment options. This explains why it is a retiree’s dream investment vehicle given that even if you don’t do much, you can be assured of steady rental income every single month. All you need to do is to maintain the property well to ensure it is in a good condition, then market it to new tenants whenever there is a vacancy and you are good to go. This doesn’t mean that rental property is only meant for retirees; even if you are in your 20s, if you invest in rental property, you can be assured of a steady income for the rest of your life.

Story
Are you interested in real estate investing but there is nothing to buy that makes sense where you live? Are you tired of seeing the amazing success of others investing in markets better suited for buy and hold real estate and wish that could be you? Do you want to take advantage of wealth building opportunities but are frustrated by the fact there just isn't any way to do that until the next market crash? Real estate investing is one of the greatest vehicles to build wealth, but it doesn't make sense in every market. Some locations provide incredible returns, while others make it almost impossible to find a single property that profits. Traditionally, investing out of state has been considered risky and unwise.

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?
