You don’t need to build a massive real estate empire to achieve financial freedom, and you don’t have to sacrifice what matters to build wealth. Rather than chasing a moving goal post, you can keep your strategy simple, maximize your flexibility, and build the life you want by becoming, a small and mighty investor.
Real estate investor and podcaster Chad Carson (aka Coach Carson) intentionally built a small rental property portfolio to give his family full financial independence while requiring less than two hours per week of his time. In this book, he shares practical, step-by-step strategies for real estate investors who want more freedom, not another job. Whether you're new to real estate or hoping to downsize, this practical guide will show you a simpler, safer, and faster path to building cash flow with rental properties—so you can get out of the financial grind and do more of what matters in your life.
Inside, you will:
“Chad Carson's Small and Mighty Real Estate Investor challenges the notion that bigger is always better in real estate investing. His approach to building wealth through rental properties while maintaining a balanced life is refreshing and inspiring. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced investor, this book will provide you with the tools and mindset to succeed."
—Brandon Turner, Author of The Book on Rental Property Investing and founder of Open Door Capital & The BetterLife Tribe.
“I feel a kindred spirit with Coach Carson as we fight to help the masses understand that simply getting to 4 rental properties is life changing. You do not need 1,000 or 100 or even 20 properties! Setting smaller goals is amazing because it is achievable by everyone over a few years. All you need is focus and daily discipline and you can become a Small and Mighty Real Estate Investor. This great book will show you how to do all of that and more!”
—Michael Zuber, Author of One Rental at a Time
“In The Small and Mighty Real Estate Investor, Chad Carson not only supplies the often misunderstood philosophy of the intelligent real estate investor but he also lays out the very specific and critical tactics to execute. In other words, he provides both the "how" and the "why." This should be your first read if you are new to real estate, and your last read when you are ready to use it to live the life you truly want to live. High praise all around.”
—Jordan Grumet, Host of the Earn and Invest podcast and author of Taking Stock
“I sold my properties years ago. But Chad is the only person that makes me want to jump back into real estate investing. The Small and Mighty Real Estate Investor is exactly the type of investor we aspire to be, and this book will help to create many many more!”
—Julien Saunders, Author of Cashing Out: Win The Wealth Game By Walking Away
“Chad knows how to focus on what’s important, and this book will teach you to do the same. This is a critically important, much-needed piece of thought leadership in the real estate investing space.”
—Dave Meyer, Host of the BiggerPockets On the Market podcast and coauthor of Real Estate by the Numbers
