Early Retirement at 36 with Just 4 Rental Properties

  • Early retirement was a goal for today’s guest, Antoinette Munroe, the moment she started making money. Her money journey started in second grade when she sold her Halloween candy for extra cash. By high school, she graduated to selling a wide variety of different things and even started her own distribution network with her cousins at their respective schools.
    By the time she got to college, her main focus was staying out of trouble, avoiding debt and saving. It wasn’t until her last semester of grad school that she had to take out loans. After graduation, her priorities shifted, and she got a job to pay off her debt. Starting with her first check at her new job, she laid out her budget ABCs. Her ABCs follow a simple principle; automation, balance, and consistency. And after two years, she paid off her $27,000 debt!
    In 2015 she decided to start looking for a home, and by the end of 2015, she purchased one. She did a complete rehab on the house while also adding an addition in hopes of getting rid of her expenses to achieve her ultimate goal of not having to work. She put the finished addition on Airbnb, and it now cash flows and pays her expenses. After she realizing the power of real estate investing to build net worth and generate wealth, she did this three more times and now owns four cash-flowing properties. She is now retired and lives the free life of leisure she always envisioned for herself.

    her systems to keep herself in check are impresive! I love her "shopping therapy". It takes extreme discipline to stay committed to a crafted vision of the future! Also, her smarts in leveraging debt is off the charts. most people would have fumbled this. I think her secret is her ability to live on very little, and do away with the uncessary luxuries most of us tend to sink our dollars in.

      Invest the money, live rent/mortgage-free, live a modest life. My guess is some inheritance in real-estate, or a partner who's still working. And probably lives in a lcol area. Def missing details here, because even investing 100k, you are barely making that 600/month.

    I am starting with my first airbnb property and I am glad you all touched on how a lot of the shows only focus on people that have 100 units or 60 cars on turo. I would love to just get to 4/5, figure out how it all works and then be free of my 9-5. I can then determine if I want more as I don't really want to "retire" just yet.

    I'm a social neuroscientist who studies the ways we control our emotions (e.g., cognitively, socially, etc.) and she strikes me as someone who had adequate childhood nutrition, stable social relations etc...resulting in a GREAT deal of executive control. Most college kids are simply not prepared to face the onslaught of propagandistic and predatory marketing. Brava, Antoinette!
