Video: The Millionaire Mindset: $850k in Real Estate at Age 20

A millionaire mindset is crucial when trying to build wealth. With the right mentality and money making opportunities, you can reach (and exceed) your highest goals. But would a marine recruit, making a low salary be able to do the same? Jabbar Adesada did, and now owns $800k+ in real estate!

After moving in with his father, he was given the strict instruction to read books like "Rich Dad Poor Dad," "I Will Teach You To Be Rich," and "Automatic Millionaire". Jabbar decided to put down his NBA/med school dreams and open up a brokerage account. Lucky for him, right around the time he started investing was the 2020 stock market crash, giving him all the discount he needed to make his first profits.

After running some “when will I be a millionaire?” scenarios, Jabbar realized that real estate, and not the stock market, is the best path to financial independence. Jabbar shares the story of how he was able to find funding, a down payment, and a property that would allow him to house hack, Craige Curelop style. Not only that, Jabbar just closed on a short-term rental in the Smoky Mountains, which puts his real estate portfolio north of $800k!
