Alan Corey had a small goal: he just wanted to pay his internet bill automatically, and in the process stumbled upon a strategy that would lead him to wealth in real estate at an early age. Today he joins us to share his journey to financial independence, from moving to NYC and realizing he couldn’t control his income in the corporate world, to purchasing real estate with a goal of purchasing one property a year for five years. Fast forward and he’s now buying five properties in a month! His unique thought process of using rental income to offset fixed costs in his life helped propel his real estate success. You’ll also never guess who he sold his first property to in NYC!
For our headline, we’ll look at a piece from Morningstar that talks about cryptocurrency in retirement plans. Would you want the option to invest in crypto in your 401k? We’ll share the results of the survey and you might be surprised by the results.
We’ll also throw out the Haven Life line to Bill who has questions about rebalancing his portfolio. And of course we’ll also throw in some of Doug’s trivia.
Enjoy!
