    Location, Location, Location!

    Learn how to buy low-cost, high-cash-flow, and appreciating rental properties in the fastest-growing “Boomtown” markets in the country. After your initial purchases, within 2–6 years, you can either do a cash-out refinance or a 1031 tax-deferred exchange to leverage and scale into more properties. Repeat this process every 2–6 years, and you may be able to retire in 10–15 years—living life on your own terms. The only way to achieve this is by buying in the right “Boomtown” growth markets. We will reveal the top 4 housing markets where this is possible.
