Unlock the secrets to financial freedom through real estate investing with Kendra Barnes, our trailblazing guest who waved goodbye to her nine-to-five at just 32. Kendra, the visionary behind the Key Resource, takes us through her incredible rise from a casual board game to a savvy property mogul. Her tale is one of resilience, savvy planning, and the transformative allure of passive income. From her first real estate purchase flutters to the strategic mastery of house hacking a four-unit property, she exemplifies the bold adaptability needed to thrive in diverse markets from Washington DC to Texas.

Feel the pulse of the military rental sector as we share firsthand knowledge on its unique reliability and cyclical nature. Kendra and I, both with deep ties to military life, examine the perks of leasing to service members, highlighting the stability of income and the benefits of understanding housing allowances. But that's not all – we'll talk about why I favor midterm rentals, striking that perfect harmony between profit, effort, and cultivating connections with tenants that last just the right amount of time.

Finally, step into the empowering world of the Key Resource, a community dedicated to lifting young, black entrepreneurs into the realm of property investment. Kendra's passion project turned powerhouse resource began with a simple Facebook post and blossomed into a hub for shared wisdom, funding strategies, and management tips. We wrap up by inviting you to join us on an ongoing voyage of growth and learning through Kendra's open door on Instagram, where the conversation about building legacy through bricks and mortar continues. It's more than just a podcast episode; it's a roadmap to your own real estate revolution.
