"People, you can't save your way to retirement. You have to invest your way to retirement."
Most people will never invest in real estate. That's the harsh reality Mike Harrison confronts in this no-holds-barred episode where he systematically addresses every excuse people make to avoid building wealth through real estate.
Mike, filling in for Del Walmsley, shares his personal transformation from struggling solo investor to building $50,000 in annual passive income in just 3.5 years after joining Lifestyles Unlimited. He doesn't just theorize about success – he lived it, purchasing 11 single-family rental properties while working a demanding corporate job and raising three young children.
