Owning investment properties might just be your ticket to building wealth, especially for W-2 earners who miss out on those precious write-offs. Jeff shares the golden rule: if you can't afford a property manager, think twice before you leap into property investments.


Learn why paying interest is throwing your hard-earned money away and get actionable advice on how to grow your funds sustainably.


In this episode, we dive deep into:

  • Investment Property Management

Owning investment property is about creating wealth, but it requires consideration and planning. Jeff advises against investment properties if you can't afford management — hear his reasons why.

  • The Cost of Interest

Paying interest can severely impact your wealth-building journey. Jeff discusses smarter ways to manage money that could lead to significant savings over time.
