Andy Webb reflects on the excitement of the recent Wealth and Passive Income Expo and its value for those seeking financial freedom. He poses the fundamental question: why invest in real estate? Andy explains how Single Family real estate delivers strong returns through equity capture, renovations, and forced appreciation. He highlights tax advantages and five income streams from each property. With the right strategy, he shows how anyone can succeed in real estate.

Al Gordon broadcasts live from the Wealth and Passive Income Expo in Irving, Texas, sharing the energy and excitement of the event. He highlights the value of attending in person: learning from educational sessions, networking with like-minded individuals, and engaging with active Lifestyles Unlimited members who openly share their real estate investing experiences. Al stresses that financial freedom begins with the right mindset, one that breaks away from the conventional path of working hard in a job for decades. He encourages listeners to adopt a millionaire’s mindset and embrace the possibility of building wealth through real estate. By joining Lifestyles Unlimited, members gain access to powerful educational tools, investment strategies, and live classes. Al concludes by emphasizing the importance of mentorship, urging listeners to find a trusted guide within the community to accelerate their journey toward financial success.

Al Gordon welcomes Josh and Victoria, seasoned investors who made the leap from flipping and managing Single Family homes to becoming successful multifamily Lead Investors. Despite owning 27 houses, they realized they were stuck in a time-consuming model that wasn’t scalable. Their introduction to Lifestyles Unlimited in 2019 provided the education and tools to shift from self employment to true business ownership. By transitioning into Multifamily, they found a more efficient and profitable path to financial freedom.

On this episode of the Lifestyles Unlimited Real Estate Investor Radio Show, Mike Harrison reflects on 14 years of real estate investing and shares his personal regret of waiting four years to start, calling it a million-dollar mistake due to lost compounded returns. He emphasizes the importance of taking action now for those interested in real estate investing, urging listeners to not delay. Harrison encourages listeners to learn from his experience and dive into real estate as a powerful wealth-building tool.

Al Gordon urges listeners to attend the upcoming Wealth and Passive Income Expo at the Irving Convention Center, emphasizing its unmatched educational value. He highlights a variety of breakout sessions tailored to all levels of real estate investors—from absolute beginners to experienced multifamily owners. Key sessions cover topics such as avoiding first-time investor mistakes, leveraging tax strategies, utilizing DSCR loans without a job, and analyzing deals using Lifestyles Unlimited’s proprietary Quest tool. This is a can’t-miss, high-impact educational opportunity for anyone serious about building wealth through real estate.

Al Gordon welcomes Don, a longtime real estate investor who joined Lifestyles Unlimited in 2022 despite already being financially free. Don shares how his passion for hands-on, creative renovation projects gradually shifted as he embraced the Lifestyles Unlimited philosophy of working on the business rather than in it. Through this transition, he found a more efficient and scalable approach to investing. Don stays engaged with the Lifestyles community by sharing his experience, offering contractor contacts, and practicing the “trade the trades” strategy to help others succeed. His story highlights the ongoing rewards of both active involvement and strategic networking in real estate.

Mike Harrison shares the simple yet powerful financial principle that transformed his life: Return on Net Worth (Passive Income ÷ Net Worth). He challenges the traditional model of retirement based on depleting savings and instead advocates for financial independence through passive income that fully covers living expenses. Harrison emphasizes that only through creating reliable streams of passive income—especially from real estate—can individuals achieve lasting financial freedom, regardless of age.

Andy Webb emphasizes the importance of understanding your property taxes, especially as rising valuations and tax rates in Texas can significantly impact investors' cash flow. He notes that many property owners may be surprised by the recent “Notice of Appraised Value” showing steep increases. Fortunately, Andy explains that owners have the right to protest these valuations — a process he has personally and successfully used for over a decade. He encourages investors not only to file protests by the May 15th deadline but also to consider markets with lower taxes and insurance costs if the burden in Texas becomes too great. Understanding and managing property taxes is essential to maintaining profitability and long-term investment success.

Al Gordon highlights the importance of understanding wealth-building principles through fairy tales that offer life lessons. Drawing from the tales of the shoemaker, Puss in Boots, and the three little pigs, he illustrates key themes such as collaboration, ethical wealth-building, and prudent planning in real estate. These stories emphasize how working together, staying ethical, and making thoughtful decisions can lead to success. Al concludes by encouraging listeners to adopt a customized investment plan for their retirement, stressing that real estate is the pathway to achieving financial freedom in five years or less.
