Episode #779 The key to financial freedom? Work as a pizza delivery driver! Not only will you learn how to handle high-pressure situations, but you might also find your next property on a regular pizza run! At least that’s what Pamela Bardhi did to build her twenty-seven-unit rental property portfolio and reach financial independence in her late twenties! Pamela’s family moved to the United States when she was just five years old, thrusting her into the restaurant business before she realized that real estate was her true passion. Pamela did everything right. She studied hard, got scholarships, worked at internships, and built her own business, but she was still miserable. Working every day of the week, often twelve hours at a time, was eating away at her. She wanted some side income to help her dial back the time spent building her business, but when her first deal turned into a $100,000 profit, the property game was too enticing to resist. Since then, she’s scaled to massive heights and wants you to do the same. With twenty-seven rental units, over one hundred deals done, and a financially free lifestyle by thirty-one, Pamela knows what it takes to build a property portfolio FAST. But she also knows what can make it crumble. Pamela shares her three BIGGEST lessons learned from doing over one hundred deals and how she turned delivering pizzas into a passive income stream that will create generational wealth for her whole family. ~~~~ Join BiggerPockets for FREE 👇 https://www.biggerpockets.com/signup?utm_source=owned_media ~~~~ Expand Your Investing Knowledge With the BiggerPockets Books: https://store.biggerpockets.com/?utm_source=owned_media ~~~~ Find an Investor-Friendly Agent in Your Area: http://biggerpockets.com/agentmatch ~~~~ Find Investor-Friendly Lenders: http://biggerpockets.com/lendermatch ~~~~ From DoorDasher to $1.5 MILLION in Real Estate (All at 22 Years Old!): https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/real-estate-749?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=none ~~~~ The 30-Something’s Guide to Financial Freedom: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/financial-freedom-guide-30-somethings?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=none ~~~~ Flipping Houses: How to Get Started and Everything You Should Know: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/house-flipping-strategy?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=none ~~~~ Connect with Pamela: BiggerPockets: https://www.biggerpockets.com/users/pamelabardhi?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=none Instagram: @pamela_bardhi or https://www.instagram.com/pamela_bardhi/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pamelabardhi/ Website: https://pamelabardhi.com/ ~~~~ Connect with Rob (Robuilt): Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robuilt/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@robuilto Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/robuiltchannel YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Robuilt ~~~~ Connect with David and Rob on BiggerPockets: David: https://www.biggerpockets.com/users/davidgreene24?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=none Rob: https://www.biggerpockets.com/users/robuilt?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=none ~~~~ Follow David and BiggerPockets on Instagram: @davidgreene24 or https://www.instagram.com/davidgreene24/ @biggerpockets or https://www.instagram.com/biggerpockets/ Show notes at: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/real-estate-779?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=none 00:00 Intro 03:04 Quick Tip 03:37 The Immigrant Entrepreneur 14:09 Serious College Side Hustles 18:37 A Burnt Out Boss at 21 22:37 Making $100K on Deal #1 30:28 3 HUGE Takeaways After 100 Deals 37:58 Putting Out Kitchen (and Investing) Fires 43:48 Pamela's Current Portfolio 48:47 Connect with Pamela!
