Email us at hello@owningitandlivingit.com. I read every one. ABOUT THIS EPISODE Somebody I know went from an 850 credit score to a 500 in one renovation. They were not reckless. They had already done a renovation and it went completely fine. So when this property came along, they looked at their own track record and thought, I can do this. When questions came up, they planned to use YouTube and AI instead of paying anybody for help. That does not sound crazy. In 2026 it is the most expensive trap I see. Five things went wrong on that deal, and every single one of them was catchable before they ever signed. In this episode I walk through all five, I show you exactly how to check for each one on your own deal, and I tell you how it ended. An appraisal that came in $75,000 low, maxed out credit cards at over 20% interest, a credit score in the 500s, and a house sold at a loss. I also share what one of my clients is doing right now in a deal that shifted on her, and why she is still walking away with a profit instead of a lesson. I use AI every single day. I use it for speed and for the first draft. Just do not let it be the only thing standing between you and a six figure decision. WHAT WE COVER Why free information cannot tell you whether the answer applies to your deal The one person who should review your deal before you sign, and why it is not your agent or your lender How AI hands you comps that are nearby but not comparable, and the question that catches it Why one exit strategy is not a plan, and how many you actually need The gap money nobody warns you about when a renovation runs over budget What to say out loud before you sign so you do not over leverage yourself What it really costs when a deal like this scares somebody out of investing for good CHAPTERS 0:00 850 to 500 in one renovation 0:45 Why this trap is bigger in 2026 2:00 Mistake 1: Nobody neutral is reviewing your deal 4:30 What free information can never do for you 6:30 Mistake 2: Your comps are nearby, not comparable 9:00 Mistake 3: Only having one exit strategy 11:30 How hard money turns expensive 13:30 Mistake 4: The gap money is not free money 16:00 The client who changed her exit and still profits 18:30 Mistake 5: Say it out loud before you sign 20:00 The appraisal that came in $75,000 low 22:00 What it cost her credit and her next deal 24:00 Why I built the room LET'S TALK Which one of these five have you almost missed on a deal? Tell me in the comments. If you are in the middle of a renovation right now, say RENO and I will keep an eye out for your question.

107: How Much Do You Need to Stop Working? (Run This Number)

🔥 MY FREE CLASS IS THIS THURSDAY, AUGUST 20 AT 12 PM ET How to Make More Money in Real Estate Without Buying Another Property. I am walking through three income streams you can build with what you already have and already know, what each one realistically pays, and which one fits where you actually are right now. Two of the three do not require you to own anything. It is free and it is live. Save your seat 👉🏽 https://owningitandlivingit.com/makemoremoney/ Everybody asks how many doors. Almost nobody asks the only question that actually decides it. A few weeks ago I told y'all that me and Lawrence stopped buying rentals. We own 38 doors, we have been at this for 10 years, and we are still a couple of years out from being fully financially free. The question that came back, more than once, was some version of: okay, so how are you planning to retire? Fair question. So I sat down and answered it, along with four more that keep landing in my inbox. Here is the thing nobody made you do. There is a monthly number sitting out there that decides when you get your life back, and most people have never once calculated it. They are running on a feeling instead. More property, more freedom, and someday the two will meet. Someday is usually a whole lot further out than they think. In this episode I walk you through the five questions I use with my clients to find that number. What your household actually spends. What falls away when you stop working. What one door really nets you after you pay all the people. Where your gap is. How many years you are giving yourself to close it. I do not give you my number, because my number is a function of 10 years, a partner, and a pile of mistakes you do not have to repeat. It would not help you. I would rather you pause this and go run yours. I also break down the portfolio review that changed everything for us, why we started selling off properties that were not performing to pay off the ones that were, and the reserves mistake I have watched send people right back to a job they already quit. If you are starting from zero, this one is for you more than anybody. If buying one property at a time is too slow for a household that already owns a pile of them, it is really too slow when you are starting from nothing. CHAPTERS 0:00 Why More Doors Is the Wrong Goal 0:40 The 5 Questions That Give You Your Number 2:15 What Your Household Actually Spends 3:20 What Falls Away When You Stop Working 4:30 What One Door Really Nets You 5:40 Find Your Gap and Divide It by Your Timeline 7:00 So How Am I Retiring Without Buying More? 8:30 The Portfolio Review We Did Last Year 10:00 Selling the Losers to Pay Off the Winners 11:30 The Reserves Mistake That Sends People Back to Work 13:00 Growth, Stabilization, and the Phase Most People Never Reach 14:30 What We Are Actually Doing Instead 15:45 The Client Who Went From Credit Repair to 3 Years Out 17:15 What I Do When I Finally Stop 18:15 What's Your Number? WHAT WE GET INTO Why the goal was never a lot of doors. The goal is a lot of money with the least amount of work. The five questions that turn "I want to retire early" into an actual monthly number. How we ran a full portfolio review and figured out which properties were quietly costing us money. Why we sell underperforming properties to pay off the ones that print. The reserves number nobody talks about, and why hitting your cash flow number is not enough to quit. The three phases of investing, and the one where most people get stuck forever. What I am building instead of buying: flips, the businesses, and paying down debt. ✨ Not sure what your next step is?

In this episode I break down the three specific things keeping smart, ambitious people in analysis paralysis, what every month of waiting is actually costing you, and the exact shift that took me from missing deal after deal to buying seven properties in one year.

I was complaining to a friend about how far behind we both were. It is August, the kids are back, the businesses are busy, and there are things only the boss can do. Somewhere in the middle of that complaining I caught myself. No matter how overwhelmed I get, I still choose what I give my time to. That is the thing I asked God for when I had one income and no options. So this episode is a real look at what my life actually is right now, and it is probably not what you picture. Three kids in elite sports. A landscaping company in its high season. Rentals. A real estate team. Properties we are flipping. A conference that is its own full business, which is exactly why this is the last year I am doing it. Here is the part I have never said out loud. Having financial options does not exempt you from hard things. It changes what the hard thing is. We have financial options. We have not reached financial freedom. Those are two different things, and I think a lot of people online blur them on purpose. We are about three and a half years from being empty nesters, so my husband and I sat down and built our actual financial freedom plan with a real timeline on it. What surprised me was what the plan did not include. It does not involve buying another rental property. Not one. When I started, the goal was more units, more doors, bigger. Then our values changed. We would rather own less and make more, keep the flexibility, stay generous, and not be tied down to things. You are allowed to change your mind about what you are building.

What a normal day actually looks like when you run several businesses at once. The real reason this is the final year of the conference. The difference between having financial options and having financial freedom. Why our financial freedom plan does not include buying another property. How a business we barely touch has grown about 40 percent a year. What we are building in the next two years, and why we are not doing it the way we started. Do you have a financial freedom plan?

That's what $10,000 a month costs. $200 net per door, fifty doors, and you never need a paycheck again. Marion Lee wrote 50 on a sticky note and taped it to the laptop he used at the job he was planning to leave. Coworkers kept walking by asking what it meant. He closed on his first property in January 2017. He resigned in April 2022. Here's the part most people skip past. He picked $10,000 because it was his starting salary times two. Not a vanity number. A decision about what it would actually take to walk away. He was a consultant in Southern California making good money, flying out Monday morning and getting home late Thursday night, every single week, while his wife handled the house and their oldest daughter. He didn't hate the job. He looked at the people two levels above him, watched them doing the same travel in their fifties, and decided that was not going to be his future. So he built fifty doors 2,800 miles away, starting with a loan against his own 401(k). In this conversation he breaks all of it down. What he borrowed and why he borrowed instead of withdrawing. The wall he hit after two deals that stops most people cold. The partnership that fell apart. The one relationship that actually unlocked scale. What he would do differently. What a normal Tuesday looks like now that school pickup is the busiest part of his day. 0:40 If You've Ever Said You Want $10,000 a Month 1:15 Why $10,000 and Not Some Random Number 1:50 Meet Marion 3:00 He Knew in High School.
