In just under six years, *Bryan Field built a 100% remote real estate investment portfolio* producing over *$65,000 per year in cash flow.* He bought properties sight unseen, chose markets that made the most money, and routinely *reinvested his home equity.* He started with zero real estate experience, and his first real investment went way over budget, but he bounced back and has already replaced a sizable chunk of his salary.
Stuck in San Diego, Bryan knew he wanted to invest, but not in the million-dollar houses around him. The best bet? Move to a cheaper market (Arizona), buy a home, and try to invest there. A HELOC-funded house flip with a friend turned into a six-figure renovation, but they both walked away unscathed. After returning to San Diego with his newborn son, *Bryan was determined to invest somewhere affordable, scalable, and profitable.*
Over the next few years, *Bryan bought duplexes in South Dakota, seller-financed* portfolios *in Arkansas, and short-term rentals in Virginia.* He used equity to make down payments, moved markets when he found better deals, and now makes over $5,000/month on his rentals alone, living in Southern California and *investing from thousands of miles away.*
Priced out of your market? Feel like you’re boxed out of investing? *If you’ve got a laptop, a phone, and some starting capital, you can repeat Bryan’s process!*
