@@rafaelw8115 what are you talking about ..the are systems you can use or implement to take care of that like for example a property manager for rent collection/repairs..by using your own logic it would impossible to have more than 5 properties let alone have them in a different states....
Wow. I love that she added "strategic doors" and kitchenettes to maximize the houses and she has flexible terms that work for everyone involved. Love it.
That's just the thing Da Shaun.. Bigger Pockets has 18,000 Subscribers and the People that come on here have channels of their own. RU-vid is filled with just as much Positivity as Negativity. Here's the fork in the road, choose wisely.
Antoinette is so dope with an amazing story. I will teach this to my future kids... as Dave Ramsey said.. she lived like no one elso, so now she can live like no one else. Such an inspiration.
@@cvzphotography lol it’s true. i lived with them from 2015-2020. Until my dad kicked me out in Mar 2020, while my mom had stage 4 lung cancer, because of the pandemic fear. My mom passed so no way im going back. But I live in my primary residence now & my salary is high by God’s grace & i’m single. So looking to buy a second with money saved up. God is merciful bc of His son Jesus Christ.
Wow! This is by far my most favorite podcast from BP about a creative, relatable, and down to earth individual. Truly an inspiring journey and please keep us posted about Antoinette's future endeavors!
her systems to keep herself in check are impresive! I love her "shopping therapy". It takes extreme discipline to stay committed to a crafted vision of the future! Also, her smarts in leveraging debt is off the charts. most people would have fumbled this. I think her secret is her ability to live on very little, and do away with the uncessary luxuries most of us tend to sink our dollars in.
Invest the money, live rent/mortgage-free, live a modest life. My guess is some inheritance in real-estate, or a partner who's still working. And probably lives in a lcol area. Def missing details here, because even investing 100k, you are barely making that 600/month.
Thank you Bigger Pockets & Antoinette for all of this great information as well as the encouragement. I'm so ready to airbnb some properties right now. Antoinette your skin is flawlessly beautiful.
Another great story about someone who is crushing it with just a few properties. I think these stories are more relatable. Maybe I'm biased because its similar to my story, but she is awesome.
I am starting with my first airbnb property and I am glad you all touched on how a lot of the shows only focus on people that have 100 units or 60 cars on turo. I would love to just get to 4/5, figure out how it all works and then be free of my 9-5. I can then determine if I want more as I don't really want to "retire" just yet.
AirBnB TikTokers ruined it. They got it so hyped and many homes in big cities are just sitting as Airbnb rentals. Going to hurt when people cut travel and they get stuck with the mortgage. What a huge bubble Airbnb has become.
This is an inspiring story. But I was discouraged of her starting salary. How someone with an MBA be paid that low--$50k? She has done well to get out of it.
@@therichrn, I would agree with you. However, even $73k today for an MBA is still very low. Will you take $73k as a starting salary for an MBA? I wouldn't!
Recent grad here. I have friends in various medical fields, accounting, I'm a graphic designer, engineering so on and so forth. Most starting salaries are 30-65k straight out of school. It kinda sucks but it's where we're at rn
Woah...watching this in September 2022. Half expecting her to be a billionaire by now. "Smart" doesn't do your guest justice...she's absolutely brilliant. I'm a social neuroscientist who studies the ways we control our emotions (e.g., cognitively, socially, etc.) and she strikes me as someone who had adequate childhood nutrition, stable social relations etc...resulting in a GREAT deal of executive control. Most college kids are simply not prepared to face the onslaught of propagandistic and predatory marketing. Brava, Antoinette!
Go Antoinette !!! I have read no financial books either !!! 1st property duplex - house hacking … learned everything off of biggerpockets too!!! I’m in an expensive market see more appreciation, mortgage covered. Bang! Looking for the next property.
Good podcast and guest! I would like to have known the total amount of oustanding debt remaining on each property, her mortgage payments on each property, how much of the cash flow she lives on, how much she saves or invests each month, and what her plan would be for covering her monthly mortgage payments if all of a sudden the market was upended (2008 housing bubble, 2020-2021 eviction moratorium, etc.) and she was not receiving the bulk of AirBnB bookings and rental income she's used to receiving, and had her equity loans cancelled.
Wow! You’re such an inspiration. I got 1 condo unit 2 years ago and now want to purchase another 1 unit, but Im scared if I can do it and able to pay it. Though taking a loan is possible but something pull me back because me and my husband is not of the same page when it comes to real estate investment. Thank you for sharing your insights!! I claim to have 4 properties and not needing go to work everyday. 💪💪💪
Wow! it's a blessing to come across your channel....what have I been missing....(everything I guess) Thank you...I am 49 and feels like I am running out of time....and desire to learn more.
I love her! And love your channel! I listen everyday and my mindset has shifted. The information y'all provide gives me the drive to keep going towards my personal goals! Thank you so much!
This is so inspiring. Thank you for sharing how you've built the life you want and reminding me not to compare or force myself to do what I don't want. I'm a freedomprenuer too!
Comparison is the thief of all joy... Run your own race at your own pace! How goes it 365 days later ? What have you done well and what can you do better ?
Love this story it shows you if you just take the initiative and make that first step the next one after could take you to the moon!! JUST Keep going !!!
Love it!! Congrats Antoinette! I agree, buying in Florida back around 2015 turned out amazing. I bought my current home in 2016 at $112k, can't find anything NEAR that price now, not even total junk homes are going for that price around here. My house is estimated to be worth over $260k now. Really want to move but have no savings for a down payment so not sure how to make it work unless I sell my house instead of renting it out. Would really like to rent it out but I've heard so many horror stories of terrible renters that it's scary to take the plunge.
I get it. I was totally cash poor after all the renovations for the first home. But there was so much built up equity that I was able to get a home equity line of credit(HELOC) on the first house and use those funds to purchase the 2nd property.
The market crash prediction has been going for months now, imagine if you've invested heavily then. The truth is no one actually knows if the crash is gonna happen. some said it will happen immediately after the election, hello we're done with the election now. You just have to invest smartly . I'm glad it worked for me with the help of an investment advisor, I recently added my $35k profits to my portfolio.
I'm new to the stock market, learned so much already online and obsessing atm, i need monitoring and guidance as i'm desperate to get into investing now, please can you share more info about your investment advisor?
i can relate to this woman so much in regards to her real estate portfolio...i have my own home and have also one rental property ..want to continue to get at least 2 more.. and be able to retire from my job. Bravo to you young lady!
Ok i needed to hear this podcast. Thanks for sharing. I was getting overwhelmed as well so I feel good about starting small and taking my time. 50-100 properties seems overwhelming to me.
Great job creating multiple units. Letting Cash sit for 3+ years loses value every year though. Cash value life insurance would've given interest & liquidity; a brokerage account has more risk but that's liquid & gains interest as well.
Great guest and story indeed! The thing with entrepreneurship is a lot of people don't realise that you can build a business and sell it as a cash flowing asset. It does not have to be forever ;-)
Bravo on such a fantastic journey to freedom at such an early age especial your extremely wise insight on student debt avoidance. Listing to Dave Ramsey all you hear from nearly everyone he interviews, student debt is the number one issue. I hope and pray young people listen and take this to heart. Achieving FIRE is doable when extreme focus and intent is applied.
Is there a place where we could see "a strategic doorway?" I have an enormous house and want to do this, but I cannot envision what the floorplan would look like. How do you ensure that there are 2 exits for both units? Thanks
I’m watching this after searching for a real estate advisor/strategist. I’m looking to be a multi unit property rockstar and this young lady is inspiring. Any advice on who I can talk to about making my first purchase like which strategy to start with? Short term rental arbitrage, House hacking, brrrr or what?
BRAVO. Antoinette bravo to her. thought i was disciplined when i was younger. hats off to her. i just got even more pumped up. and feeling younger. BRAVO. Antoinette.
