Despite his six-figure salary and a sophisticated corporate job, this episode’s guest lived from paycheck to paycheck. Like many people, he did not understand what it truly meant to be financially free — until he got married and needed to provide for his family.
Craig and Zeona are joined by Henry Washington, a former software developer turned real estate investor with hundreds of transactions and eighty buy-and hold-properties under his belt. Henry made the leap from full-time employee to financially free through a combination of preparation, persistence, and courage.
Perfect for those just entering the real estate arena, this episode illustrates how building relationships with fellow investors, tenants, and even local community banks can jump-start your journey toward financial freedom.
