Del Walmsley explores the pros and cons of early retirement, sharing how he retired at 35 and has spent 35 years living with freedom, flexibility, and financial independence. He contrasts his planned retirement with the reality that most Americans are forced out of the workforce due to health issues, corporate restructuring, or family responsibilities—often without being financially prepared. Citing data that less than 1% retire by 40 and only about 20% by 60, Del highlights the psychological barriers and societal conditioning that prevent people from taking control of their financial future. His message is clear: build passive income, learn from those who have achieved financial freedom, and create a lifestyle where you can do what you want, when you want, with the resources to sustain it.

Del Walmsley dives into why real estate has been America’s go-to wealth-building vehicle for the past century. He highlights key advantages: leverage, cash flow, principal reduction, appreciation, and tax benefits. His message is that real estate combines multiple wealth-building forces simultaneously. When used consistently and strategically, these forces create a faster, more controllable path to financial freedom.

On this Tell Del Tuesday, Del Walmsley is joined by member Mike, who shares his real estate journey beginning in 2011. After selling a paid-off home in Oregon, Mike was motivated by his father’s hands-on experience with small apartments and the lessons from Rich Dad Poor Dad to pursue investing. With a background in mechanical and software engineering, Mike understood that if he wanted to retire before 65, he needed consistent cash flow—not just a paycheck. Seeking guidance and a proven roadmap, he joined Lifestyles Unlimited for mentorship and support, quickly realizing the value of networking, surrounding himself with experienced investors, and building a strong professional team to support his growth.

Del Walmsley addresses recent news about Trump’s executive order intended to limit corporate investors from buying single-family homes. He explains that the order primarily restricts federal financing for large investors but does not prevent cash purchases or force current owners to sell. Del shares data showing that 85–91% of single-family rentals are owned by mom-and-pop investors, with only 2–3% held by large institutional investors. He emphasizes that single-family rentals remain an ideal investment for small investors, offering multiple income streams, tax advantages, and long-term wealth-building potential.

Del Walmsley interviews Karen and Troy, longtime Lifestyles Unlimited members who have built an extensive real estate portfolio since joining in 2015. Originally, with backgrounds in accounting and IT, they followed traditional financial advice, keeping a paid off home and retirement accounts, but shifted their mindset after attending an Expo and educational classes that revealed how leverage, depreciation, and structured real estate investing could accelerate wealth while improving tax efficiency. They emphasize that the education, transparency, and collaborative culture they found, where investors openly share financials, strategies, and lessons learned, made large scale investing feel achievable despite neither of them starting in real estate.

Del Walmsley reflects on the true meaning of retirement during his morning walk in the cold, realizing that animals never “retire” — they keep working to survive until they can’t. This observation leads him to question the human idea of stopping work and living off savings or government support. He explains that traditional retirement was never meant to offer freedom; it was designed to remove “unproductive” people from the workforce. In contrast, real retirement, according to Del, is achieving financial independence through income-producing assets, staying productive, and maintaining control, cash flow, and purpose without relying on a diminishing pile of savings or government programs.

Del Walmsley is joined by Robin, who shares her journey from a 20-year Air Force career and corporate America into real estate investing. After joining Lifestyles Unlimited in 2017 with no prior experience, she completed her first multifamily deal that same year. Robin recalls a key moment when she realized financial freedom comes from cash flow, not just saving for retirement. She stresses the importance of open money conversations and building relationships with like-minded people, emphasizing that true success is about family, friendships, and the freedom to live fully while staying healthy.

Del Walmsley discusses generational fears ahead of the 2026 Expo, noting that young people’s top concerns—financial insecurity, personal failure, and social rejection—are the same struggles past generations faced, including his own experiences with poverty and insecurity. He says today’s challenge is a lack of direction in a fast-changing digital world, and argues that true security comes from who you become, not what you own, because skills, discipline, and knowledge build confidence that can’t be taken away. His solution is education, mentorship, community, and taking concrete action to grow personally and financially, with real estate investing presented as a practical path to gaining control of your future.
