$12,000/Month Cash Flow by Cracking the Rental "Formula"
About this episode
This investor is producing $12,000 per month in cash flow and is well on his way to early retirement before the age of fifty, and he did it all after taking a DECADE off of investing. By cracking the real estate “formula,” Andre Taylor was able to buy larger properties faster. He used his financial independence number to work backward by picking up properties that would truly help him retire early. He’s still buying deals in 2025, and you can retire early, too, if you use his “formula.”
Andre started with just $3,000 in the bank. Not $30,000—$3,000. With a bit of sweat equity, he converted a foreclosure into a cash-flowing rental, generating a solid $300 in profit per month per unit. Then, everything clicked—what if he bought enough rentals to replace his income? After calculating his “freedom number,” he knew how many rentals he needed.
But then Andre…took a break. A long break. A decade of not investing. When he got back, it was time to go all out. In today’s episode, you’ll hear about the buying spree Andre’s been on over the past eight years, how he closed on over thirty rental units (some filled with black mold), and why “buying up the block” is the fastest way to reach financial freedom.
