Having been in the foster care system, Gena Lofton had a fear of being homeless. In her mind, the only way to elude such a circumstance was to own the land herself. Motivated by this fear, she focused on financial freedom – having sufficient passive income that covers all of her living expenses. Fast forward and she has achieved her goal after acquiring over 4,000 apartment units and other passive income assets. On this episode, she shares her inspiring story, her formula to financial freedom through debt and reducing taxes, and the key places to invest.
