Investing in Bricks and Mortar: Five YouTube Channels for Real Estate Investment
Real estate investing is a method many people use to generate wealth. When I purchased my home years ago, I thought that I was on my way to generating wealth by paying my mortgage each month. However, over the years I have learned that it takes more than one property to gain wealth from real estate. I have thought about venturing into real estate investing but have not pursued it due to prioritizing other activities. As a homeowner, I’m always interested in the latest information on the housing market. During my search for information on the housing market, I discovered five YouTube channels whose content informs and allows me to live vicariously through their real estate investment stories.
1. Sachs Realty
