A very common goal among our clients is to cover their living expenses and retire in 10 years or less through real estate investing. Here are four tips, courtesy of our own Jeff White, who was able to achieve this in just 7 years!

1. Consistently invest, regardless of the market conditions. Real estate, in particular, is a forgiving asset when held for the long term.
2. As your equity position grows, ensure that each dollar of your investment is working as hard and efficiently as possible. In Monopoly terms, trade your green houses for a red hotel. You can see how Chris Lopez optimized Ben Einspahr’s house hack stack through his consultation by clicking here.
3. Keep your expenses low and avoid income creep. This is easier said than done.
4. Hold onto your W2 for as long as possible! Lenders love W2 investors because they are easy to lend to. After losing your W2, securing financing becomes much more difficult and can delay your next investment by 2 years or longer.
