When it comes to rental properties, many new investors think the only path to freedom is owning dozens of doors. But the truth? You don’t need 20, 30, or 100 properties to reach your goals. In fact, the average landlord in the U.S. owns about 5 properties — and that’s often enough to cover their retirement needs or even retire early. 🏡💰 Here’s why: ✅ Fewer properties = easier management ✅ More focused cash flow per property ✅ Better quality control and tenant relationships ✅ More time freedom, less stress The key isn’t quantity. It’s acquiring solid, cash-flowing assets and managing them well. 💡 Ask yourself: What’s YOUR personal freedom number? How many properties do you actually need to reach your goals? 👇 Comment below with your thoughts — and invite a friend who needs to hear this before they burn out chasing “more doors.” #TheREITribe #FinancialFreedom #SmartInvesting #RealEstateTips

Just a reminder that the PRIMARY job of insurance companies is to take money from your escrow every 6 months and do everything in their might to not pay you out when a claim has been submitted. They are not always right and you can use AI tools to call them out. My property is currently under construction and can be considered “vacant,” I had a thief that broke in and caused $24,000 in damages. I filed an insurance claim and it was denied because they “don’t cover vacant properties.” I sent the policy to chatgpt and chatgpt caught a loophole where they say “vacant homes that are currently under construction are not considered vacant.” I went ahead and submitted an appeal, they didn’t reply nor were not picking up my phone calls. I was ignored for almost 2 months. Ok cool, guess we going to do it the hard way. I filed a complaint to the states insurance administration and called a lawyer last week through LegalShield to send out a letter on my behalf. And LO AND BEHOLD… my first contact ever since my appeal 2 months ago… got an email this month saying the check is on its way. So lesson learned, these insurance companies will try you hoping you don’t challenge them. Don’t budge yall!

https://site-zp4p2wzgr.godaddysites.com/ Hey guys I am currently working on my website and getting things done and I would love some opinions on what I should add or remove or leave as is. I am currently waiting to finish building my online rental portal then I'll add that so tenants can pay online and place maintenance requests via online submissions.

Hey everyone, I'm new here and to the landlord world ! I'm planning on buying my first couple properties next month at the city auctions for non paid taxes. What's the pros and cons on this ? Have you ever went this route ? Backstory: I'm from a small town in Oklahoma who has a population of roughly maybe 1K-3K ppl living in the town . There is a lot of old abandoned houses, commercial property etc there and I want to invest in it and make it at least easier for ppl to find homes and hopefully bring more ppl to the town . But my family and grandmother still reside in the town and pay rent so I would love y'all's opinion about this move prior till purchasing.
