In their own words, “I want as few doors as possible with as much money as possible.” That’s what we’re all after as real estate investors. How can we *generate the most passive income with the fewest properties,* headaches, and issues to deal with? A little over five years ago, *Amelia McGee and Grace Gudenkauf* were willing to buy any property with any problem, to get in the game. They *wanted to quit their jobs,* become their own bosses, own their time, and live the lives they imagined—not be tied to a paycheck. Now, they’ve *achieved financial freedom* and are sharing the *five things* that got them there. What’s the one thing Grace and Amelia say *every new landlord should put in place at the start?* Why is day-one *cash flow overrated,* and what’s the thing that actually makes you wealthy? Plus, why do they think *“growing” to a big portfolio is too risky and not worth* the effort? Grace and Amelia learned all these *lessons* the hard way *over the past five years.* Today, we’re *giving them to you in under an hour* so you can get to financial freedom even faster.
