”Rightsizing” Your Lifestyle for a Passive Income Payoff!

Many people dream of retiring at an early age to spend time pursuing other activities or projects. Creating passive income with real estate can make that happen, but you also need to know how much money you’ll need to pay for it all. In this episode, you’ll hear from an investor with some great advice for people who want to streamline their plans, and make it easier to reach their goals. Kathy Gottberg talks about rightsizing (as opposed to downsizing) your lifestyle and your financial plan so you can do the things you want. Kathy and her husband Thom got rid of the oversized home, the extra cars, and put the money they saved into real estate investments, for decades. The payoff? They have enough passive income to pay for their travels and other pursuits. For Kathy, that includes writing. She doesn’t need the income but she loves doing it. She’s a long-time blogger with a website called www.SMARTLiving365.com. SMART stands for her five topics: Sustainable, Meaningful, Aware, Rightsized, and Thankful. She’s also the author of seven books including one called: "Rightsizing--A SMART Living 365 guide to Reinventing Retirement."

NFL Player Devon Kennard’s Real Estate Game Plan

It’s not every day that we have a professional football player on our show to talk about real estate investing. But today, you’ll hear from linebacker, Devon Kennard, on financial literacy and how he’s creating long-term wealth with real estate. You don’t have to be a football player to do what he is doing, although a higher paycheck may speed things up a bit. Devon is currently with the Arizona Cardinals. He started out with the New York Giants and played with the Detroit Lions for two years before he signed with the Cardinals. He’s been in the NFL for a total of nine years, which he says is a long time. A football career can end quickly with something like an injury or a contract expiration. The short lifespan of a football career was one of the things that inspired Devon to start building a cash-flowing real estate portfolio. He wants his family to be able to continue the same lifestyle they are living now, after his football career is over. And he’s making very good progress. He’s also passionate about sharing what he’s learned. For more about Devon, check out his website. You can find out more about cash-flowing rentals at realwealthshow.com.

Investing in Raw Land With Little Cash & No Debt!

The housing market meltdown in 2007 dealt a rough blow to many developers. In this episode, you’ll hear from someone who lost a lot of money back then, but he managed to stage a successful comeback. He did that by discovering a backdoor into the real estate development business. Instead of developing the land, Cody Bjugan arranged to have it approved or entitled for development, which is often one of the toughest parts of any big project. Cody is now a full-fledged developer with 30 projects and 2,300 residential units under his belt. But he also founded a company called VestRight to teach people how to do entitlements. He says it’s a simple way to create 5- to 7-figure paydays from off-market land deals, without owning or developing the land, without debt, and with very little cash at risk.

From DIY Single Mom to Real Estate Boss!

When I started investing in real estate, I didn't run into a lot of women on the job sites. And, I certainly didn't see very many women doing the renovation work themselves. But that's exactly how today's guest got started and her hard work has paid off because she's now a big-time real estate boss-lady. As a single mom, Kelly Stumphauzer bought a fixer upper for $46,000 and moved in with her three young kids. She was making about $13,000 at the time. Now, just a decade later, she runs a large renovation and property management company and has been featured on the front page of the Wall Street Journal for her success. She shares her story in this episode. If you’d like to learn more about how you can buy cash flowing rentals, go to realwealthshow.com and sign up, for free.

Why Buy One Rental Home When You Can Buy 16?

Some people get stuck in analysis paralysis, meaning no matter how much they study, they just can't take the plunge. Meanwhile, others jump right in. In this episode, you’ll hear from someone who couldn't wait to get started in real estate, so he made his first acquisition while he was in high school! Kyle Nott wasted no time. He attended what he calls “Windshield University” to educate himself about real estate. That’s the time he’s spent driving from one construction job site to another listening to podcasts, and learning from other investors. And here he is now, educating others on my podcast. He shares the ups and downs of his journey in this interview, which is both inspirational and educational. Thank you for joining me here on the Real Wealth show.
