A small real estate portfolio that replaces your entire W2 income!? Many rookies assume that becoming a full-time investor is only possible after amassing a large portfolio with dozens of properties, but that’s not the case. Today’s guest was able to meet his family’s monthly income goals with only six rentals!
In this episode of the Real Estate Rookie podcast, we’re speaking (in person!) with Travis Hall, an investor who knew very little about real estate just 18 months ago. After seeing the stress that his wife’s rigorous W2 job was creating, Travis discovered BiggerPockets and caught the real estate bug. The rest is history. Today, he has a small portfolio of six rentals—all thanks to the power of networking, partnerships, and, most importantly, taking action.
If you’re ready to trade in the rigidity of your nine-to-five for the flexibility of real estate, tune in to hear Travis talk about his fast journey to full-time real estate investor. He spares no details when discussing his short-term rental strategy (including some VERY unique investments), as well as the monthly income goals he needed to meet to make full-time investing a reality.
