078: How to Create Money Ripples with Real Estate with Chris Miles

Traditionally, we’ve all heard the advice to invest in our 401(k)s, Roth IRAs, and other standard investment vehicles. But what if we told you it won’t be enough in retirement? Real estate is one investment option that can help you achieve the results you’re looking for.

On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan’s guest is Chris Miles, a self-described anti-financial advisor who wants to help you create money ripples with real estate. Chris is a cash flow expert, and his company, Money Ripples, specializes in getting his clients fast financial results.

You’ll hear what caused Chris Miles to realize that mainstream financial advice sucks, why the tangibility of real estate is so valuable, and why his first real estate investment made him realize it can help you get everything you want. Chris also explains how he defines passive income, helps his clients maximize cash flow, and why he feels so much freer now than he did as a licensed financial advisor.

With his background as a former licensed financial advisor, Chris Miles is uniquely positioned to offer real estate as an investing alternative that can produce impressive results.
