He reveals the four types of passive income, the four types of real estate investing, and the #1 mistake that keeps people broke: personally guaranteed debt. Plus, Brad shares the wild story of how he used $60,000 to acquire 38 houses—and turned that into 16 free-and-clear rentals producing consistent monthly cash flow.
