You'd be surprised to hear how many people can afford to invest in rentals, but don't- just because they don't have a clear vision of how to grow from there. But here's what most don't realize-  The key to portfolio growth isn't how much extra income you have.   The key is having the right strategy for your income.  That's why week on the Not Your Average Investor Show, Gregg Cohen (co-founder of JWB Real Estate Capital) and show host Pablo Gonzalez show host break down exactly how passive investors can go from one property to a meaningful portfolio—even if you don’t have a big chunk of extra cash sitting around. You’ll learn: - How to create a realistic buying plan based on your income, timeline, and goals - What portfolio growth looks like with just your rental property’s cash flow - How adding $25K–$50K a year in savings can accelerate your path to financial freedom - Why the first property is just the starting line—not the finish line And how JWB’s Portfolio Planning tools help make it all feel clear, simple, and doable If you’ve ever felt “stuck” after your first deal, this episode is your roadmap forward.

If you’ve ever built your rental property portfolio the “smart” way—reserves in place, cash flow positive, low risk—but still wondered if you’re doing enough… This episode is for you. Geoff Bolton is a JWB client who’s done just that. He’s a numbers guy, a planner, and he even made a PowerPoint to explain his investing philosophy (true story!). He’s joining JWB co-founder Gregg Cohen and show host Pablo Gonzalez to walk through: - His SWAN formula (Sleep Well At Night) and how he tracks reserves, equity, and risk - How a hurricane hit one of his properties—and his reserve fund saved the day - Why he sees reserves as a promise to residents, not just protection for himself - The big question he’s still asking: am I being too conservative? This is one of those episodes where the investor becomes the teacher—and the community shows up with answers, encouragement, and maybe a few “aha” moments of their own. Don’t miss your chance to hear Geoff’s story, ask your questions, and walk away with a better understanding of how you can build a portfolio that feels right for you. Listen NOW!
