Episode 4: Why Cash Flow Beats Being Debt-Free—Every Time | Residential Tuesday
Most people believe the path to financial peace is to pay off all their debt as quickly as possible. But what if that plan is actually slowing you down or even setting you up for disappointment? In this episode of Residential Real Estate Tuesdays, I share the story of Jim, who followed a traditional “debt-free” plan—only to find himself house-rich but lifestyle-poor in retirement. Then we contrast his story with Sarah, who took the opposite approach: she used strategic debt to buy rental properties and built a lifestyle of freedom and cash flow long before retirement.
You’ll learn why focusing on monthly income—not eliminating every loan—is the real key to financial independence, and how to calculate exactly how many rentals you need to hit your number.
💬 “Being debt-free feels nice—but having cash flow feels free. And freedom is the goal.”

From my hard money lender who swooped in within 48 hours, to the title officer who gave me a critical heads-up, the story shows how the right team can protect you, save you from disaster, and help you scale faster than you ever could alone.
We break down the offense and defense structure of a powerful investing team, your role as “head coach,” and how to recruit each position with confidence. If you’re building your real estate business and want to avoid burnout and bad deals—this episode is for you.
🧠 “You’re the head coach. Your team will win—or lose—based on who you recruit and how you lead.”
