Michael Rosehart is the founder of 25 And Free, a platform designed to help others reach financial independence, build financial knowledge, manage their money more effectively, and to lead happier, more fulfilled lives. He officially became Canada’s youngest self-made early retiree by the time he was 24 years old by acquiring 15 properties, and embracing frugality. He grew up in a single mom household that was just barely making above the poverty line.

In this episode we talk about how he got started into real estate investing, what motivates him to continue working even though he doesn’t technically need to, house hacking and how we can do this ourselves, the best ways to get an investment property loan when you don’t have the entire down payment, his low point in life and what he learned from it, and money tips from someone who has clearly made it.
