The Financial Independence Show

Today’s episode features Alex Felice from Broke is a Choice. Yes, Alex chose that name to be a little controversial. He likes to stir things up a little and get the conversations going. For him though, he found himself broke in 2010 and he did make that choice to turn things around. He poured himself into personal finance education and completely reinvented his relationship with money. In 2014, he decided real estate would be his angle towards freedom. 18 months into his journey, he made more money than an idiot like him should have (haha his words, not ours). These days his real estate deals just keep getting bigger and bigger including a recent deal that brought in over 50 units to a group of investors. You won’t want to miss Alex’s views on beating broke, leveling up, and investing in real estate. Now take some time and see if you can learn about some choices you should make!
