Most people think real estate investors buy houses, fix them up, and rent them out. But that's like saying a pilot "just pushes buttons." The reality involves a fundamental shift in thinking that changes how you view wealth building entirely.
This episode reveals the "big misconception" that keeps most people trapped in trading time for money. You'll explore practical strategies like "chunking" and the "cash flow snowball" that help you systematically build multiple income streams over time.

10:37 The Chunking Strategy Explained - How one property can start covering your expenses and become the first step toward financial independence
15:09 The Cash Flow Snowball Effect - Why reinvesting income from properties accelerates your path to building multiple income sources
