In today’s show, we’re interviewing Anna Kelley.  She's a real estate investor who has created time and money freedom.  And, she's the founder of REI Mom, helping women create a legacy through real estate investing. 

Where Real Estate Fits into the Cash Flow System

Here at The Money Advantage, we are a community of wealth creators taking control of our lives and financial destiny. 

It’s not enough to just make a great income.  You have to figure out how to keep more, protect that money, and finally, increase and make more through the right investing decisions.

That’s why we have created the 3-step Business Owner’s Cash Flow System.  It’s your roadmap to take you from just surviving, to a life of significance, purpose, and financial freedom.

The first step is keeping more of the money you make by fixing money leaks, becoming more efficient and profitable.  Then, you’ll protect your money with insurance and legal protection, and Privatized Banking.  Finally, you’ll put your money to work, increasing your income with cash-flowing assets.

Today’s conversation will help you look at your investing in a way that is aligned with your unique abilities, produces value for people, and puts your money to work earning a cash flow return.
