E212: Become Financially Independent & Live Your Values Without Compromise with Rylee Knox


Listen Later

Meet Rylee Knox, an outdoor enthusiast, a realtor, a real estate investor, and a recent GoBundance member.

At 25 years old, this guy has probably lived a lifetime’s worth of experiences – finished college, got married, got a W2 job, and almost died driving to that W2 job. Then his wife had a miscarriage and got diagnosed with breast cancer while pregnant for the second time. They had the baby prematurely at 28 weeks and in the middle of COVID, until he finally quit his W2 job and grew his investment portfolio that’s now scaling to 39 units.

In this episode, hear Rylee talk about his journey transitioning from a W2 job to full-time real estate investing, all while having to deal with his personal circumstances, walking away from a scarcity mindset, and how his goals doubled for the year!

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

Notable quotes from the Episode:

"Just because you're on a path and you've made progress down that path, doesn't mean that you should continue down that path once you realize it's not the path that you want to be on."

"Life is so fluid now. The days of working for a company for 40 years and getting a pension – it’s not a reality anymore."

“One of the biggest reasons to be financially independent is so you can live your values without compromise."

"The skill of real estate investing is finding a great deal and creating a great deal and operating a great property."
