Sobre este episodio
After having her second daughter, high school math teacher Christle Stezskal had a choice to make—keep working for little pay and give up the time she had with her young children, or find another way to help provide for them. Her husband had just finished the personal finance classic, Rich Dad Poor Dad, and knew rentals were the right move—but Christle was only working with a teacher’s salary. She couldn’t buy $400,000 houses, let alone $300,000 or $200,000 houses. But $50K - $100K rental properties—that she could do. The duo set off, finding an out-of-state investing market where the numbers would work. They purchased their first deal, and then…lockdowns, and a tenant moving out—terrible timing. That wouldn’t stop Christle. Now, just six years later, she has a real estate portfolio of 19 cash-flowing rentals. She’s gotten creative, buying off-market properties, sending direct mail, and even bidding at courthouse auctions to get rentals at the right price. Because of her hustle, she’s quit her job, now gets to spend time with her girls, and provides her family the financial future they’ve always dreamed of—and she didn’t need deep pockets to do it. In This Episode We Cover: Why small, cheap rental properties can make you wealthy (even in 2026!)
