Quotes and Takeaways:

 

“I want passive income. I mean, most agents are just helping people buy and sell real estate. We don't have 401K’s, or we don't have retirement plans. So, unless you’ve built a team and sell it at some point, or you're buying rental properties and building wealth for yourself, you’re probably going to have to keep working. You're going to be a realtor forever.” – Kyle

 

At some point until you have to figure out when is enough, right? I'm kind of at that point, trying to decide that right now: I'm 42 years old, my kids are 13 and 10. And so, trying to just put things into perspective. I want to be at all the games for my kids and not be so focused on real estate all the time that you miss out on everything else. It's easy to do. But, if the market changes and it goes down, and with-it real estate income goes down, if I have rental properties, I’m going to be protected that way.” – Kyle
