Real estate has proven to be an excellent place to invest your money.
But where should you start in this competitive market? Rentals? Airbnbs?
Sam Dogen, also known as the Financial Samurai, joins us to share his thoughts!
Sam retired from his corporate career about 10 years ago. Real estate (among many other avenues) was a huge part of his financial independence success.
Also, Amy Greene from North Carolina, shares how she and her husband increased their family net worth to over $1 million by age 44!
Last, but not least, my son Calvin joins me for another “Good Word”. We discuss how a recent professional baseball game became national display of generosity and helping your fellow man.

Since the financial crisis, more than 80 million visitors have stopped by FinancialSamurai.com to learn, share, and grow.

Joel Florek has 31 multi-family rental units valued at $1.5 Million and he's only 25 years old. We review his early success on the podcast and discuss the benefits of multi-family real estate investing.
Want to figure out how you or your spouse can stay at home with the kids? Real estate investing worked for Joel Larsgaard's family. His wife was able to stay at home with their two kids after they built up enough passive income from their rental homes.
Real estate investor, Chad "Coach" Carson, shares how we can all retire early with real estate. Whether you're just getting started or you've been investing for a while, Chad's advice on financial independence with rental properties is priceless.
