Real estate expert Alan Corey debunks the myth that mortgages are risky and that having a paid off property is the goal of a good real estate investor.

It's actually the exact opposite.  Think of real estate investing as a stock. It's not wise to let your future ride on one company, so why is it wise to let your future ride on one (paid off) house? 

Creating a portfolio of homes creates a mutual fund-like strategy where you'll have some winners and some losers, but they support each other and you have the added upside of one property having lottery-ticket like appreication.

Alan Corey lays out how House FIRE is the best method to reach early retirement.  Typical rule of thumbs are to save 25 times your annual expenses in a stock portfolio and then withdraw just 4% of that balance each year.  But what is out there for us real estate investors?

Intro from Haley and Justin Brown-Woods, co-hosts of "The Price of Avocado Toast" podcast, who on their own podcast mentioned how the House FIRE strategy  lead to them purchasing a "Student Debt House."

We cover the "chapter ones" of Brandon Turner and yours truly, the risk-adjusted advantages of real estate investing over stock investing and why the people in your ear are well-intentioned Bad Timing Tims when you instead need to be listening to Detached Dougs.
