    The Retirement Mistake I Don't Want to Make at 70

    A conversation with one of my clients this week got me thinking about something I hadn't really considered in a while: What happens when we reach retirement age and realize we haven't built enough income to comfortably retire? As an entrepreneur and mom of four, I've always been responsible for my own retirement. I don't have an employer contributing to a 401(k) or a pension waiting for me. That's one of the biggest reasons I started investing in rental properties about 12 years ago. In this episode, I'm sharing why real estate has become such an important part of my retirement strategy, how rental income can change over time, and why you might not need nearly as many rental properties as you think to build long-term financial security. We'll also talk about my Lazy Investor Method, built around three things: People, Property, and Process. It's the approach I use to invest out of state without becoming a landlord. Ready to start building your own rental portfolio?

Because at the end of the day, building wealth isn't just about how many properties you own. It's about what you want those properties to make possible in your life.
