episode 293: 6 Rental Properties in 15 Months (While Working 3 Jobs!) w/Brandon and Dani Tilson
Too busy to buy rental properties? After this episode, you won’t have any more excuses. Brandon and Dani Tilson started building their rental property portfolio just under a year and a half ago and have already acquired six properties while working schedules that would make most people faint. We’re not talking about one job or two; we’re talking about working three jobs while raising a family and self-managing a rental portfolio. So, if you’re working less than eighty hours a week, this is your sign to get started!
After growing up with a struggling single mother, Brandon vowed that his children should never have to worry like he did. After learning about real estate, Brandon was ready to invest, but his wife, Dani, was not. Cash in the bank was a luxury Dani wanted to hold on to, but after many long conversations, the couple agreed to try their hand at rental properties. Their first deal didn’t go as planned, but it helped them build momentum and turn a small sum into a cash-flowing rental portfolio.
In this episode, you’ll hear exactly how Brandon and Dani scaled to six units in just a year and a half, the property management software they use to run their portfolio painlessly, and how to get your spouse on the real estate investing bandwagon. Brandon and Dani are set to retire in just five years, and if you tune in, you can too!
