He had $10,000 in the bank account by the time he started college, a first step toward his goal to retire by age 30. Now, he’s well on his way to achieving that goal thanks to his impressive success as an investor-friendly real estate agent with ReafCO.Josh grew his portfolio using the BRRRR method and real estate wholesaling.
