And I meet so many, so many people that, ‘Hey, when I get to this age, I'm going to retire and then I'm going to enjoy the time and travel and do all that.’ I'm like, why not do it now? Right. Like enjoy the time you have now. Don't wait. And fortunately for us, Glenn, real estate and this investing has given us an opportunity to be able to do that. Because I mean, really what we're doing is just trying to buy back our time. Like we're doing something we love, but we want the time freedom to be able to have the choice and have the option to again, do what's important to us and spend time with the people that are important to us.”Join Glenn as he interviews Jarod Alexander, the founder of Optimal Equity Group, a firm dedicated to educating investors on achieving strong returns through real estate.
