Investing in real estate is one of the best ways to reach financial independence, but very few ever take action.

If you want to reach your FIRE goal as soon as possible, tune in to hear how Jabbar used real estate to expedite his journey. He shares how he was able to save up for a down payment with a low income, get his first home loan with almost no credit history, and rapidly increase his income!
