This month my wife and I achieved millionaire net worth status. We did this at 34 and 35 years old with two kids. I am the only one that works, and my wife stays home and manages the household. In 2016, I left my corporate job to pursue a career in real estate. Had no idea what I was doing but I had a strong desire to learn and take a risk. It is no secret that our net worth took off because we found ways to buy property every single year since 2016. You can’t buy property without money though. But the secrets I discovered was that we didn’t need a lot of money to get started and we utilized low down payment strategies to get our foot in the door. I also realized that a salary will NEVER get me to the result I was seeking. I needed to be in sales and earning money directly related to the activities I was doing, with no cap on those earnings. The combination of sales mixed with buying 1 income producing property every year is the blue print to success. Sales fuels investments. Sales are short term gains, investments are long term wealth building tools. My advice: 1) get a sales job and become a subject matter expert. 2) Have one spouse maintain a W2 job while you become a subject matter expert to help you qualify for loans 3) buy income producing property with low down payment strategies 4) once your sales pick up, reinvest that money into more property 5) have your spouse leave their job to assist in your sales business or run the household 6) continue to sell and buy property until you don’t have to put so much focus on selling because your investments have gained in value and provide you with income. Dedicate 10 years for this result. You might achieve it in 8 like we did.

“The only reason to go back to a W2 is to buy more real estate.” - My stay at home Wife

One time someone asked me how will I know if my 6 year old homeschooled daughter will keep up with her peers… Perhaps her peers need to keep up with her? Here’s every US president by memory

Here’s what I’ve learned about many conservative republicans. They are very hard to control. There are plenty of people that I know, they will do what they want at all times. They are defensive, protective, and don’t back down. They will risk it all for the things they value. They know they have other options and they will never feel trapped in a particular situation. Feeling helpless is not a thing for them. They know no one is coming to save them. It’s all up to them

11 years ago I had my first horrible boss. Soul sucking woman. She belittled me, had no respect for my work, commitment, and aspirations. A year later, I forced myself out and began a new path. 10 years into it, I thank God for that boss every day

AI is coming for many corporate jobs. If I was W2, I’d be buying real estate while I still have a job!! No W2, no loan! Optimize what you have right now, you may not have it in the future. We have a few years remaining to build your real estate portfolio before AI takes our W2 security blankets. Time is ticking. Build your net worth NOW!

I’m sorry, but waiting until you’re ready to buy a home will result in you never buying a home. We are under extreme inventory circumstances right now. If you don’t break in, it’s possible your kids won’t be homeowners. This is a generational decision. Not buying a home today is seriously impacting your family tree.

Sad. For Chicagoland people, you need to execute. Next year, the year after, and the year after that will still be worse in terms of pricing. Homes aren’t going to be cheaper anytime soon. If it’s painful to buy today, consider what it will feel like a year from now. Just do it.

I am curious how many people out there will fully vaccinate themselves but will refuse to drive a Tesla to reduce their driving risk. I bet a lot!

My wife is in her middle 30s with 3 kids and she’s still dancing at a high level. She still has dreams to go BIG. Her family supports these dreams and everything that comes with it. This is only made possible from Chicago Real Estate. What dreams could real estate unlock for you?

I have an awful addiction to my phone. It negatively impacts my life in certain times. My kids will go a very long time before they get a phone or tablet. They won’t be using them for school work unless absolutely necessary

If you want to make a $1M, start talking about making a $1M. I know people that make this amount of money in a single year. I know people that make this amount of money from a single real estate transaction. $1M is more attainable than you think

It’s easier to MAKE a $1,000,000 on a property that is valued above $1M than it is to make a that same million on a property worth $500k. Buy more expensive property. Make WAY MORE money

I’ve never been particularly impressed with someone that was scared of everything. People love optimism. People love reasonable risk takers. The scardy cats don’t get a ton of validation points. Go for it!! Do the thing!

@sweatystartup Holy cow! Wont find that at a Chicagoland kindergarten. Good for those young kids and parents

There’s something different about the 1st birthday of your 3rd child. It’s shocking how much we have developed as parents. Our 3rd child is being raised during his first year of life very differently than our first two kids. There are many things I regret with my first two kids already. We have corrected those regrets with our 3rd. This is the reality of parenting and doing anything. You learn over time and hopefully can course correct. This is how we learn and grow.

My completely unvaccinated son turns 1 year old tomorrow. This last month he had 2 more sick days. Runny nose and cough. This brings his total sick days for the year to 11 days. A typical 1 year old, according to Grok, has 42-120 sick days. My son had 11. A typical 1 year old will have had 6-24+ days with a fever. My son has NEVER had a fever. Zero days. Tomorrow we celebrate a BEAUTIFUL HEALTHY BOY! Praise God

Between his 10th and 11th month of life, my unvaccinated son had 3 more sick days. The shocking stat, he’s never had a fever. This brings his total sick days to 9. He turns 1 year old on May 15

Knock on wood, my unvaccinated son is 11 weeks old and hasn't been sick yet. My two daughters had illnesses much earlier, according to our records. Interesting observation.

@MarioNawfal Getting a whole house generator for your home has never been more important than now

🇺🇸 Tucker is sounding the alarm on the largest AI data center ever proposed in the U.S. 40,000 acres, 62 square miles, all in Utah. Power consumption: 9 gigawatts, double what the entire state of Utah currently uses. One building… using more electricity than every home, business, and factory in the state combined, and it's being built in one of the most water-stressed regions in the country. Nobody's asking if the grid can handle it, nobody's asking what happens to the water, the elites just want it built. @tuckercarlson

I’ve never seen such a golden age to buy real estate in Chicagoland than right now. Your chances of success are incredibly high. It’s truly amazing what Chicago offers right now.

All of these things are VERY HARD to do. But when you do the hard, the reward comes. BUY REAL ESTATE = Become wealthy HOMESCHOOL = Increase your chances of raising smart independent kids WORKOUT DAILY = Boost your confidence and live a long happy healthy life
