The Real Estate Way to Wealth and Freedom

Jack Gibson began his entrepreneurial journey at age 19 and founded his first company at the ripe old age of 21. Operating a successful nutrition consulting and distribution company, he had built a multi-million dollar venture before he was old enough to rent a car. Soon thereafter, he bought his first home as an investment. One quickly became five, and then the bug hit. He became obsessed with learning everything about Real Estate Investing and soon had over 50 investment properties generating passive income. Today, Jack spends his time mentoring other entrepreneurs, building his real estate investment portfolio, and helping other investors to build a brighter future through the power of turnkey real estate income.

The name of the game in real estate is finding great deals. You've heard that if you have a great deal, the money will follow. Especially as value-add investors, finding distressed properties or owners is a great way to find deals. Distressed deals can mean a few things. The owner can be in distress, either personally or financially, the property can be in distress or a combination of both.

Dustin Heiner, founder of MasterPassiveIncome.com, started investing in rental properties was in 2007 where he and his wife took all of their life savings and bought their first rental property for cash. It was very scary because the property was in Ohio and he lived in California. Even though he was scared, he jumped in and spent $17,000 and bought a rental property that rented for $550. He still owns the property today and is a great rental. Six months after that first property, he refinanced it and pulled out 80% of the value to purchase another rental property. Four months after buying that property, he refinanced it and pulled out 80% to buy two more properties. Now, after a little over a year, he had four properties that rented for $500-$550 a month.

Our minds are like a sponge. What we put in them gets absorbed and stored. If you are constantly fueling your mind with good and positive information, then those are the things that make up your thoughts. If you are constantly feeding your mind with junk, limiting beliefs, and negative content, then those are the things that make up your thoughts. When you realize this, you begin to guard your mind against that bad input, and instead consume as much good content as possible.

First and foremost it's important to understand that anything worth having or doing doesn't come easy. It will take time, work, and energy. Sometimes you'll need some motivation to get you past the finish line. Motivation can be in many forms. Sure, an inspirational rah-rah video can do the trick. But the problem with some motivational speech or video is that the motivation is short lived. It doesn't mean much to you. For real true motivation, you have to look internally.

Each and every one of us is responsible for our own actions, successes, failures, and outcomes. You either decide these things for yourself, or give that control to someone else. Wealth and freedom are two things that you'll have to take responsibility for if you want them. No one will simply hand you either. You have to make your own outcome or be content with the outcome someone else decides for you.

People are as busy as ever. With an ever increasing list of things to do, and the same 24 hours of the day staying the same (last time I checked), you are probably feeling more and more crunched for time. Big things, little things, and everything in between are vying for your attention. Excel at your career, work on that side hustle, build a real estate empire, take care of your home life, raise a family, spend holidays with loved ones, pay bills, file your taxes, wash your car, and dare forbid, relax from time to time. It's safe to say your life is full of things you either could or should be doing. It's likely that you can't even keep up with the things you should be doing, much less would like to be doing.
