Ever wonder what’s possible while you’re still working the job? In this episode, I sit down with Fire Captain Lukas Carter @Lukas Carter — who built a portfolio of 17 rental properties… while on shift. 👀 No perfect timing. No crazy luck. Just consistency, strategy, and taking action. 🔥 We break down: • How he started investing in his 20s • Buying properties post-Katrina for massive tax advantages • Scaling to 17 rentals while working full-time • Lessons from wins AND losses (including a syndication deal) • Why he’s still buying more—even close to retirement This is what a real “second pension” looks like. 💡 If you’ve ever said: “I’m too busy…” “I’ll start later…” “I don’t know enough yet…” This episode is your wake-up call. Or go listen now and start thinking bigger about what’s possible on your next shift 🔥 Please follow the podcast and post a review. I would be grateful for that.
