How are people on instagram achieving financial freedom in 3 years or less via RE?

[Jason Lee]

I feel like I see this everywhere where people on social media are boasting about achieving financial freedom in 2 or 3 years from real estate. Are they just leveraged to the max? I figure most people start out with a $100k property or something then they just scale up and start using BRRRR or STR? Can someone explain how these people are doing it?

Also if they are free... Why is everyone and their mothers selling courses on it. If they're rich wouldn't they not need to work anymore? Maybe just diversifying their income?
