Both wholly owned subsidiaries of Frec Markets, Inc._ *Struggling to find cash flow* these days? You’re not the only one. Today’s guest *built a portfolio of 50 rental properties* before margins started getting thin, but one giant pivot changed everything—a pure cash flow play to complement the *appreciation and tax benefits from his rentals.* If you want cash flow, he’ll show you exactly where to find it! Today, *Devon Kennard makes 12%-14% returns* with an investing strategy that doesn’t involve tenants or toilets: *private money lending.* Better yet, he’s often able to *recycle the same capital* multiple times per year for even _faster_ returns. And yes, this is real, passive income. Despite scaling to over *$12 million in assets under management (AUM),* his tech stack allows him to *spend just 25 hours a week on his real estate business.* It sounds too good to be true, but with *some capital and a few tools,* you could *start doing private money deals* that give you the monthly income you’re unlikely to find with normal rental properties. Devon shows you how to *get started with as little as $10,000* and even breaks down a standard deal where he makes $5,000 in monthly cash flow—plus fees upfront!
