@melissadorman: Everyone thinks the stock market is what makes you wealthy. The Dow dropped 450 points last week and not one person who owns it could do a single thing about it. Think about who you're trusting. The same companies that rent you your phone, raise your insurance every year, and lay people off to hit a quarterly number. That's who's holding your retirement, and you get back a number on a screen that moves when strangers get scared. I put my money across the street instead of Wall Street. I pick the block. I sit down with the seller and we build the terms together. I know my tenants because I've met them. And when it goes sideways, and it will, the building is still standing. I'm not your advisor and I'm not telling you to sell anything. This is just my rule for my money, and my rule is I want to be able to drive to it. DM me FREEDOM for my free book. 🖤 #consciouswealth #creativefinance #realestateinvesting
