"I went from that to totally controlling my freedom where I could be here for her the entire time. I could do what I needed to do for her and take care of everything else while she was able to heal and recover."
Robert Tinning spent over 30 years climbing the corporate ladder as a property management executive, managing 26,000+ units and earning every industry award imaginable. Yet he was still trading time for money. After eight years of resistance, one question changed everything: "What happens when you outlive your retirement savings?" Now living on 26 acres outside Dallas, Robert reveals why the current market correction is creating the best buying opportunities in years, and how real estate ownership gave him the freedom to care for his wife during her cancer battle without worrying about PTO or demanding bosses.
What You'll Discover:
- How a property management VP with 30+ years of experience finally made the leap from employee to owner
- Why the current market "reset" is creating opportunities not seen since Robert started buying in the mid-2000s
- How controlling your time becomes invaluable during life's unexpected challenges
