Just buy ONE rental property and watch your life change. Today’s guest was working multiple jobs, and a single property purchase allowed her to finally free up her weekends and regain some freedom in her life. The best part? She did it with just around $4,000, then repeated the process again and again, leading her to quit her demanding teaching job in just four years! Today, she’s describing exactly how she did it!
Deandra McDonald called a lender, expecting to get a preapproval for a home. What actually happened? They told her, “No. Come back when you have more money, better credit, and less debt.” She hustled for two years, saving, working more, and paying off debt. She finally secured a loan for her first property, a two-bedroom townhouse that would change her life forever.
Now, she’s a financially independent real estate investor, no longer tied to her teaching job, and investing in completely overlooked “rental properties” that produce killer returns and allow her to live job-free. These properties are still largely ignored, but Deandra says it’s not too late to take advantage of them and escape your W2 job, too!
