My wife and I quit our w2 jobs in just under 2 years

Patrick Eldridge

So it all began 3 years ago when I met my wife jenn. We both shared an interest in real estate and I cashed out my 401k/pension and we bought our first duplex. 1 /2 years later we now have 28 doors generating 30k a month! We’ve accomplished all of this by following the brrrrr method and doing all the renovations ourselves. We now have a great team in place that helps as well. To keep material costs down we shop Facebook market place for kitchen cabinets and etc. We buy pallets of lowes/Home Depot returns off people. My wife is also a genius and came up with the idea to rent washer/dryers out for $60 a month and nearly every one  of our tenants do, that makes us 18k extra a year. I am now a licensed contractor/home inspector and my wife almost has her real estate license. We both use these skills to acquire our deals. It’s amazing what 2 people can accomplish with the same drive/goals, we push each other so hard to make it happen. At one point we were closing on 6 properties at the same time, it was stressful but we made it happen!
