She had to start over and rebuild any wealth she had acquired, all while being a single mom to her one-year-old. Now, just five years later, she has 17 rental properties and is on track to retire early as a multimillionaire over a decade before traditional retirement age. She did it all with very little money and creatively found ways to invest without having a huge bank account. And she’s done it all while working full-time. After building up a small rental portfolio with her now ex-husband, Sarah already had some of the skillset to invest in real estate. The problem? Those properties were sold to pay for divorce fees, leaving her with little money, but a basic plan. Her next step? Find a duplex, renovate it to increase the equity, rent out one side, and live in the other, and…repeat. She did a house hack BRRRR (buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat)! With proof of concept, Sarah went on to repeat this renovation and refinance process, allowing her to scale, with little money, into a sizable rental property portfolio that will pay for her early retirement. Now, she’s got a plan to retire with $6M (yes, you read that right) in assets, and is giving you the framework she’s using to get there so that you can repeat it! 00:00 Intro 01:35 Starting from Scratch at 30 04:35 House Hacking with a Toddler 07:11 House Hack + BRRRR + Private Money 08:45 Borrow Money, Buy, Refi, Repeat 11:09 Huge Divorce Hurdle 13:54 Retiring (Rich) a Decade Early 18:31 Better Than Long-Term Rentals? 23:11 1% Rule in 2025! 25:22 The “Pruning” Property Phase
