This could mean buying stocks, bonds, real estate, contributing to one’s 401k / IRA, crypto etc... A few decades ago, I chose real estate and I want to share not only why, but how the heck real estate investors actually make money. Spoiler alert, it’s not just about a rent check. Owning real estate is far more powerful. Let me tell you how.
