#58 Don't Trade Time for Money with Eric Martel

Eric purchased his first apartment building at just 18 years of age while still at university. After graduation, in his position as an actuary, he was dismayed to see hundreds of company pension plans being rolled over into 401(k)s shifting the retirement risk to employees. This made him reconsider traditional beliefs about retirement savings. It also made him question his role as an actuary so he joined the lucrative technology industry.   A few years later, he lost a fortune during the Dotcom crash of 2001 and started looking for ways to earn passive income and stop trading time for money. He started various businesses, including a gourmet sauce company, but eventually came back to his first love, real estate investing, and formed MartelTurnkey. After just a few years of rapid success, he was able to retire from his day job.   Now he wants to share what he's learned so you don't make the same mistakes he did.   You are in for a treat with our next guest.
