You probably know Brandon Turner and David Greene as multimillionaire real estate investors. What you may not know, is that a decade ago this was a very different story. Brandon didn’t grow up in a wealthy family, and by his 20s, had packed on about $20,000 of credit card debt while spending $1,000 more than he could afford each month. David grew up in a family where finances were a constant stressor, he later vowed to himself that he would never let money problems hurt him or the people he loves.

Now, both Brandon and David have made the long journey from rags to riches, and through investing in real estate they were able to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and reach financial independence. Today, we talk through the first five (of ten) steps that helped Brandon and David reach this financial feat. 

This is a great episode to take notes on, as becoming a millionaire is close to impossible without following most, if not all of these steps. While this episode isn’t entirely focused on real estate investing, a large part of being a successful real estate investor is financial intelligence. Even if you’ve made mistakes in the past with investments, debt, spending, or any other financial lever, following these ten steps will give you a solid framework to stair-step your way into millionaire status.
