Andy Webb broadcasts live from a Cracker Barrel parking lot in Abilene, Texas - day two of a little over 60 days traveling in what he calls "the RV bunker." This isn't vacation time; this is what financial freedom looks like when passive income from real estate replaces your need to work.
Andy shares how he and his wife achieved this lifestyle through house-by-house real estate investing. After joining Lifestyles Unlimited in March 2012 with no real estate background - he worked in corporate finance, she worked in insurance - they systematically built their portfolio. The result: they retired his wife in three years, with Andy following suit three and a half to four years ago.
You'll discover the practical reality of managing rental properties while traveling, why buying distressed properties and fixing everything upfront virtually eliminates ongoing maintenance, and how the "cash flow chunking" strategy makes financial freedom achievable one house at a time.

How long did it take Andy to achieve financial freedom? Andy retired his wife in three years after joining Lifestyles Unlimited in March 2012. He followed suit and retired three and a half to four years ago, allowing them to travel for months at a time while their properties generate passive income.
What does "cash flow chunking" mean? Andy explains this as buying houses to cover specific monthly expenses - one house to cover utilities, another for the mortgage payment, another for car payments, etc. Each house cash flows $200 to maybe $600, and you systematically chunk away at your total monthly expenses until passive income covers everything.
