Bio: I started my Passive Income journey from the humblest of roots.
At the time, I was working a 60-hour per week job that paid me only $1,200/month. I used my emergency fund to invest 20% down on a $70,000 fixer upper. After 2 years, I sold the property and rolled the capital gains into a $250,000 condo in the Pacific Northwest mountains. This condo allowed our family to enjoy the Cascades while also creating an Income Stream as a Short-term rental. From there, I started to leverage both time and money to build multiple Passive Income streams.
Soon, my wife and I found out our first child was on the way. Time with my family is everything to me, so I knew I needed to expand into other Passive Income streams. I discovered a unique and very low capital option with Vending.
Now, as our second kid is on the way, I have focused on generational wealth through a Vending route that includes over a dozen machines and thousands of dollars in monthly income.
If there's one thing my journey has taught me: The process is easier than I thought and I only wish I had started sooner.
