Jonathan is a Philadelphia-based real estate investor, agent, and business owner specializing in short-term rentals. This 28-year-old millionaire reached financial freedom before age 30 by building a portfolio of over 70 short-term rental units. He spends most of his free time traveling and has also created a short-term rental property management business that manages a portfolio of over 200 units across multiple cities. He believes that financial independence is a lifestyle and that anyone with a desire to be financially independent should pursue it. This is what inspired him to create the “Live Free” to teach entrepreneurs how to pursue their financial freedom.

• Anything is possible if you approach it with the right strategy.
