Humble Start With Wholesaling And Flips
- Chad Carson started in 2003 at age 23, initially wholesaling and flipping with a business partner while living frugally.
- They survived early years by using private money and learning deal-finding and negotiation skills that scaled their business.
Follow Starter → Builder → Harvester
- Follow three stages: starter (active income), wealth builder (buy and hold), harvester (simplify and protect income).
- Shift early income to what pays reliably and then plant 'fruit trees' of rentals to harvest later.
Use A Real Estate License To Accelerate Income
- Do get your real estate license and consider commercial brokerage as a higher-paid, lower-volatility active income path.
- Use commissions and agent access to accelerate deal flow and spot bigger value-add opportunities for your own portfolio.
