In this impromptu show Jason interviews his mother, Joyce, on her simple low-tech approach to investing in income properties.

Hear Jason’s mom share her experiences parlaying a low income job and a small $12,000 investment into a $7,000,000 portfolio that generated a net income of well over $200,000 annually (and rather passively) at retirement… not including tax benefits!  You can create wealth and passive income the old fashioned way or accelerate the process with our modern strategies.  Either way, it’s all about passive checks in your mailbox every month.  While the journey of a real estate investor is usually fun and easy, there may be trials and tribulations while buying and managing your portfolio. Like the tortoise and the hare, slow and steady wins the race.

The time will pass anyway, why not put time on your side by holding income properties?  The motto to live by; “Don’t wait to buy real estate, buy real estate then wait!”  Remember – life is a marathon, not a sprint; and if you want a surefire road to success, then don’t lose sight of the big picture.
