What’s YOUR reason for investing in real estate? For today’s guest, it was to achieve financial freedom and have a flexible schedule. By focusing on education, forming partnerships, and, most importantly, taking action, she was able to quit her job and acquire seven properties in just THREE years!
Welcome back to the Real Estate Rookie podcast! Sarah Msuya was firmly entrenched in her successful banking career when life threw her a series of curveballs. After her son was born prematurely and complications caused her to miss nine months of work, Sarah knew that a traditional nine-to-five was no longer an option for her and her family. She spent the next three years learning as much as she could about real estate and building a portfolio that provides $80,000 in cash flow per year!
Like many new investors, Sarah has dabbled in several investing strategies on her journey to financial freedom—from house hacking to flipping houses and everything in between. Eventually, she was able to pin down her niche—the BRRRR method. In this episode, you’ll learn how to find the best strategy for YOU and scale your portfolio through partnerships and creative financing!

How Sarah brings in $80,000 cash flow each year from seven properties
