Episode #1294 Join the Future of Real Estate Investing with Fundrise. Start with as little as $10: https://fundrise.com/pockets *Britton Eads was making $15 per hour putting up fences all day.* He had *no college degree; he dropped out of the electrician trade* and didn’t have many other options. One day, he read _Rich Dad Poor Dad_ , and realized his life didn’t need to stay on the same track it was going. Now, just *four years later, he’s got over 15 rental units,* his *rental income replaced his fence job,* he’s sitting on $200,000 in equity across his portfolio, and he couldn’t be happier. It only happened because he took action instead of second-guessing himself. Britton’s story is one of the wildest we’ve heard. Everything from *burst pipes* to *ceiling holes, very low appraisals,* and funding mishaps. But it didn’t stop Britton from pushing forward and creating the wealth he knew was possible. He just had to learn from his mistakes. If you *feel like you’re stuck, wanting to get into real estate investing,* but thinking you don’t have the cash, the income, or the experience, there is no better guest than Britton to prove you can start—you just need to start.
