Coco- “I have been looking for a badass podcast to help inspire me and keep me on track. I really feel like I found that in The Money Nerds. Last month I cut my spending drastically by switching from a new car to a new/used car, moving into a place that costs me $1000 less in rent (rent can be crazy in LA) banning myself from grub hub and focusing that money toward paying off all of my debt. Its official I have paid off the first of 7 debts! I am going the highest to lowest APR route. I so appreciate this group and the amazing discussions that are happening in here and Whitney Hansen you rock. thank you for creating a safe and inspiring space.” #moneywin

Chad Carson is an early retiree who used real estate investing to reach financial independence. His new book Retire Early With Real Estate teaches others to do the same.

Before real estate investing Chad graduated from Clemson University where he was a Rhodes Scholar finalist and a 2-year captain of the football team as a linebacker. Soon after college when Chad was 23, he and a business partner began real estate investing from scratch.  Today they own a portfolio of 90 rental units and private mortgages.

Chad focuses on using real estate income to retire early and do what matters.  For example, in 2017 and 2018 he, his wife, and two young daughters lived in Ecuador in South America. He also enjoys teaching, getting outdoors, exercising, and working on local community projects like pedestrian/bike paths.

In this episode we talk about how he got started into the real estate industry, what life was like living in Ecuador for 17 months, his definition of financial independence (one of the best I’ve heard so far), how to figure out how many properties you need to retire and take care of the bills financially, what to look out for when you’re financing 1 property vs. 10 properties.

Also learn his answers to:

1. One purchase he recently made that has made life better?
2. Place he’s dying to travel to?
3. What is the secret to financial success?
