He didn’t come from a financially secure background, but he was able to get out of debt by following Dave Ramsey’s strategies.

A significant portion of the real estate is held in the form of passive real estate syndications. Instead of selling all of your properties or having other tenants pay rent, which is where the bulk of your passive income comes from, you can sell your building before you retire and get your initial investment back. This will allow you to retire with a healthy nest egg. Paying attention to passive income rather than active income because the former does not fluctuate, but active income might be affected by changes in working hours.
