You don’t need $100,000 to start—here’s a step-by-step playbook to begin with $10K in 2025.

What’s inside (5 Wealth Moves):

1. Invest in skills first. Prioritize high-income skills (sales/design/marketing), mentors, targeted events, and curated free education. Income growth is the #1 wealth tool.
2. Leverage the “boring” compounding. Open a Roth IRA or capture employer 401(k) match. Example: $500/mo for ~30 years at a 7% average could land in the ~$610–$650K range tax-free; maxing to $7K/yr could approach ~$770K (illustrative, not guaranteed).
3. Smart Crypto (not YOLO). Treat crypto as a developing asset class: emphasize networks closer to adoption (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum; with select satellites only if aligned with risk tolerance). Keep allocation responsible.
4. House-Hack with FHA. Consider a duplex/triplex/quad with ~3.5% down; live in one unit for a year, rent the others, then convert to a cash-flowing asset. Example: $300K duplex → ~3.5% down (~$10,500), credit 580+, rents can offset a significant share of the payment.
5. Passive Real Estate. Participate in larger deals without day-to-day management, aiming for cash flow, appreciation, and potential K-1 tax benefits. Traditional hurdles include accreditation and $25K–$50K minimums see update below for smaller checks.

In this solo episode, Mikey breaks down why cash flow is fuel, not the finish line, and how to force appreciation so your deals pencil in a high-rate world.

What you’ll learn:

• Rates & reality: Why ~6.29% mortgages matter and how a small drop can save real dollars monthly.

• Cash flow vs. appreciation: The mindset shift younger investors should consider to build wealth.

• Negative leverage decoded: When a 5.5% cap vs. 6%+ debt becomes a silent deal-killer and what to do instead.

• Build-to-rent advantage: Targeting ~7.5% yield-on-cost so income covers debt service.

• NOI growth levers for 2025: Low-cost, high-impact upgrades (paint, LED, hardware, landscaping), ADUs/conversions, RUBS, and ancillary income (storage, reserved parking, pets).

• Case study: From a duplex to a 32-unit entitlement—how forced appreciation can create value before you build.

• Timing the next window: What rising cap rates + falling interest rates could mean for buying.

Why this matters: You can’t control the market, but you can control your inputs design, entitlement, underwriting, and operation to drive NOI, protect cash flow, and compound your equity.
