Guest: Brad Hovis

In 2008, I was dead broke. Wife, kids, bills, stress...and there seemed to be no relief in sight. I decided something had to change and real estate was it. A few years later, in 2013, I was able to retire. My passive income was larger than my monthly expenses. It meant...I didn't HAVE to work anymore.
