"I told the wife that's what was going to happen, but I didn't believe it myself. It's definitely worked." - Brian B.

 

Meet Brian Brown, a full-time electrician from San Jose, California who listened to Del Walmsley for 10 years before finally taking action. What happened next proves that with the right education and strategies, anyone can build wealth through real estate while working full-time.

 

Brian started with two rental properties purchased the traditional way—20% down, standard financing. But after joining Lifestyles Unlimited in 2018, everything changed. He discovered strategies like hard money lending and 1031 exchanges that completely transformed his approach to real estate investing.

 

His most impressive move came when Brian used a 1031 exchange to sell one rental property in Idaho that was cash flowing just $150 per month and purchased three properties in San Antonio. The result? His monthly cash flow jumped from $150 to $1,200—an 800% increase while deferring all capital gains taxes.

 

What You'll Discover:

How hard money lending required only $25,000 out of pocket for a $210,000 after-repair-value property

Why a 1031 exchange turned $150 monthly cash flow into $1,200 (800% increase) while deferring taxes

The exact steps to invest remotely from California to Texas while working full-time as an electrician

Brian's journey from traditional 20%-down investing to sophisticated strategies like hard money and 1031 exchanges shows what's possible with the right education. His story proves you don't need to quit your day job or have massive capital to build wealth through real estate.

 

The best part? Brian is teaching his children these principles early, setting them up for financial freedom. His 20-year-old son is already a property owner, and his younger children are passive investors in multifamily deals.

 

This isn't theory—it's a real blueprint from a working electrician who transformed his family's financial future using proven Lifestyles Unlimited strategies.
