As I thought about how to reach financial freedom and create generational wealth, it was clear that real estate investing would be an important part of my plan. The more people I talked to about wealth, the more and more I heard of success with real estate investing. Real estate investing has been great at increasing my net worth and my monthly income. But, it has taken work to get. I get it. People are busy. Not everyone wants to spend their omney on Redfin and Zillow, calling and interviewing property managers and physically visiting properties. What you and I are willing to do will vary. The work needed will increase if you live in an area without a great rental property market. Cities like New York and San Francisco can tufnkey an intimidating place to start. To make it worse, the poor price-to-rent ratios the average rent for a home divided by the average home cost makes it harder to make money on your investment.
