Today we're going to talk about creating micro freedom moments through real estate investing. Because small wins equals big momentum. So every property you acquire isn't just an investment. It's a step closer to time freedom, financial peace and living a life on your terms. So what do we mean by micro freedom moments? Those are the little steps forward that bring you closer to your goals. Whether that's financially reclaiming your time or enjoying

more of life as it is. So we're going to break up our micro freedom moment discussions into different areas and share some key points and stories on what we do and how we did it and how we gained more freedom step by step over time while we built our real estate portfolio. So Brian, talk about one of the financial micro freedom moments we've had.

So our personal liability towards our own house, ⁓

was drastically lowered basically. And I think at one point we were paying $600 a month in mortgage payments.

Jessilyn Persson (02:00)

She goes, that's not a month. You must mean a week. I'm like, ⁓ nope, I mean a month. She's like, what? Cause hers was,
