  • How to Buy Time and Freedom with a Simple Rental Portfolio (2-Hour Workweek)

    How to Buy Time and Freedom with a Simple Rental Portfolio (2-Hour Workweek)
    May 28 2025
    Rentals can give you much more than just bigger pockets. They can buy you time, flexibility, and the freedom to design an adventurous and fulfilling life. Just ask today’s guest, who built a simple real estate portfolio that runs itself—creating space for midday hikes, living abroad, and passion projects. In this episode, he’ll show YOU how to slow down and do the same! Today, Chad Carson, investor and author of The Small and Mighty Real Estate Investor returns to the show to share how real estate investing gave him much more than money. Chad has been investing for decades, but now, he’s making a major shift. Rather than accumulating more rental properties, he’s paying off the ones he already owns. Instead of putting in 80-hour workweeks, he’s traveling, taking mini-retirements, and prioritizing his life goals. And the best part? Some weeks, he spends as little as two hours on his portfolio! Want to copy Chad’s success? In this episode, he’ll show you how to trade the rat race—whether that means long hours at your nine-to-five or the relentless grind of scaling your investments—for time freedom, a flexible portfolio, and a real estate business that works for you. In This Episode We Cover How Chad optimized his real estate portfolio for a two-hour workweek Why real estate’s real return isn’t money—but time, freedom, and flexibility How to use real estate investing to build a fulfilling life (not just a big portfolio!) Swapping traditional retirement for mini-retirements that help you savor life while you’re young The power of paying down mortgages versus buying more rental properties How to ditch the rat race for a real estate business that works for YOU And So Much More!

  • 3 Cash-Flowing Real Estate Deals in 2025 (& Where We Found Them)

    3 Cash-Flowing Real Estate Deals in 2025 (& Where We Found Them)
    May 26 2025
    There are still real estate deals even in 2025. To prove it, we’re taking three real (on-market!) deals and analyzing them three ways: as a long, medium, and short-term rental to see which will have the highest cash flow. All of these properties are around or under the median home price in the US and have at least one strategy that makes them profitable, even in 2025 with today’s high interest rates. To help run the deal analysis, Ashley Kehr from the Real Estate Rookie podcast and Garrett Brown from BiggerStays join us to crunch the numbers. You’re probably thinking, “Short-term rentals always make more than long-term rentals!” but that isn’t exactly the case. With the added expense of short-term rental management, some deals may work MUCH better as a long or medium-term rental. We’ve even got some bonus strategies to share to boost your rental property profits, like renting-by-the-room to get even more revenue and subdividing your lot so you can sell it and pay off your rental faster (more cash flow!). These deals still work in 2025, and today, we’re sharing exactly where we found them. In This Episode We Cover How to analyze a rental property as a short, medium, and long-term rental The one overlooked cost you should ALWAYS account for on a short-term rental A sneaky tactic to get extra cash if you’re on a BIG lot Using the “coliving” (rent-by-the-room) strategy to get even more rent every month Why short-term rental regulations are a good thing for investors And So Much More!
