Al Gordon speaks with Karen and Troy as they share their journey from traditional corporate careers and conventional retirement planning to becoming successful real estate investors.

Mike Harrison explains why rental real estate is a top investment choice, describing it as resilient, forgiving, and centered on a basic human need: housing.

Mike Harrison lays into why a traditional retirement plan no longer works and explains why building a second stream of income is no longer optional, but necessary.
