Description

A long-term real estate investor and advisor joins host Liam Leonard for this episode of The Prosperity Perspective to help you reach your financial freedom number, and it all starts with a Google search and a focus on the long game. Michael Dominguez shares his hard-earned appreciation of what it takes to get your dream life from day one, whether you only ever invest in one property or a hundred.

3 Key Takeaways

• If you want to reach that freedom number you have in mind, then you need to do thorough research in the markets that interest you. That starts with a simple Google search. 
• Michael reached his financial freedom point by NOT listening to others’ conviction to make money when you buy. Instead, find a location with a quickly growing appreciation rate. 
• It’s important to distinguish real estate as a fund for your life, not the runner of your life. Set those boundaries from the get-go and be better off in the long term.
