Uncommon Real Estate

[REPLAY] This Single Mom Replaced Her Income with 41 Rentals & Retired Early

Chris Craddock, Farrah Ali Season 1 Episode 276

In this throwback episode of Uncommon Real Estate, Chris sits down with investor and author Farrah Ali to unpack her journey from single mom starting over to owning 40+ rentals and building $20K/month in automatic income. They dive deep into how real estate agents can break free from the commission treadmill and begin building long-term wealth — using the same strategies Farrah used to retire from her 9–5 and create generational change.

Whether you’re a full-time agent, part-time investor, or just trying to get your first deal done, this episode gives you the mindset, the money playbook, and the strategy to stop chasing deals and start building wealth.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • How Farrah went from $0 to 41 rental properties using private money
  • Her $500/month per-property cash flow formula
  • Why she paid $22K for coaching — and why it changed everything
  • How agents can turn listings into investment wins
  • What type of deals she looks for (and what she avoids)
  • Her advice to agents stuck in the “next transaction” mindset
  • How to use mentorship to shortcut years of trial and error
  • Why mindset is your biggest investing asset — not cash
