How badly do you want to *leave your nine-to-five job, retire early, or travel the world?* For this mom of four, working until traditional retirement age was _never_ an option. She’s already taken down *eight real estate deals in just two years,* which has allowed her husband to quit his W-2 job. *And she’s next in line!* Welcome back to the _Real Estate Rookie_ podcast! *Molly Shepard* is a U.S. Army veteran, busy mom, and full-time loan officer, and yet she’s been able to carve out time to work on the one thing that will *give her family financial freedom: real estate investing.* Motivated to be work-optional as soon as possible, Molly has *walked hundreds of houses, made dozens of offers, and bought several properties* in a matter of months. But she hasn’t done it without help. In this episode, Molly shares how she rapidly grew her investing network, allowing her to *find more off-market properties and buy them with as little as $0 out of pocket.* She also walks you through the deal that started it all—a *home-run house flip that netted her $50,000 in pure profit!* Episode Show Notes: https://lnk.to/realestaterookieYT Join BiggerPockets for FREE 👇 https://www.biggerpockets.com/signup?utm_source=owned_media 🎉Join us at the BiggerPockets Conference October 2-4 in Orlando.
