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.

So I was thinking about gifting each tenant who decides to move into our units a welcome home gift , do any of you do that for your tenants? I found this on Etsy !

I want to share a pivotal moment from my journey as a real estate investor. One of my very first deals was a property I purchased for just $13,000. Fast forward 15 years, and that same property is now valued at over $125,000! 🏡✨ The best part? It didn't require a major rehab—just a fresh coat of paint and some new flooring. When I found this gem on the MLS, I was in a tough financial spot, but I took a leap of faith and funded the purchase and updates using a credit card. Many people thought I was crazy for taking on that kind of debt, but I believed in the potential of that investment. Today, I’m proud to say that my gamble paid off! This experience taught me the importance of betting on yourself and believing in your vision. Here's to many more years of growth and success! 💪💼 #RealEstate #InvestmentSuccess #BelieveInYourself #WinningMindset
