Welcome back to Wealth Within Reach.  Today, I’m walking you through how I’m investing in 2025 and how you can shape your real estate strategy to reflect your real life. My approach has shifted over the years—from the grind of the growth phase to a season where my priority is passive income, time freedom, and smart money moves. With changes in tax policy, rising tariffs, and shifting population trends, it’s more important than ever to reevaluate your goals and make sure your real estate strategy still serves you. I’ll break down why I’m not jumping into big real estate developments right now, how I’m using equity to boost cash flow, and why I’m leaning into short-term rentals and strategic flips to fund the life I want. Whether you’re in a growth phase, trying to replace your 9–5, or in a reallocation season like me, I’ll help you clarify your financial goals and reverse engineer the right plan. This isn’t about keeping up with the market noise—it’s about creating wealth that actually works for your life in 2025. KEY POINTS:  - Investment strategies must align with life stage and goals - The importance of regularly reviewing your portfolio - Consider a passive investment approach for cash flow  - Be cautious about investing in large real estate projects  - Determine your goals and re-evaluate investment strategies - Attend a "dream planning workshop" for investment plans QUOTES:  “I'm in the season of reaping the rewards for it to work for me.” – Erika Brown  “My investment strategy should work for you and what you have going on in your life currently.” – Erika Brown  “Every single investor should do on an annual basis is review your portfolio and see what's working and what's not working.” – Erika Brown  [INVESTOR ROADMAP] Ready to take control of your future?
