About this item

Spend more time doing what you love and maximize the ROI of a small portfolio with this multi-award-winning strategy guide: "a critically important, much-needed piece of thought leadership in the real estate investing space" (Dave Meyer, host of BiggerPockets? On the Market podcast).

You don't need to build a massive real estate empire to achieve financial freedom, and you don't have to sacrifice what matters to build wealth. Rather than chasing a moving goal post, you can keep your strategy simple, maximize your flexibility, and build the life you want by becoming a small and mighty investor.

Real estate investor and podcaster Chad Carson (aka Coach Carson) intentionally built a small rental property portfolio to give his family full financial independence while requiring less than two hours per week of his time. In this book, he shares practical, step-by-step strategies for real estate investors who want more freedom, not another job. Whether you're new to real estate or hoping to downsize, this practical guide will show you a simpler, safer, and faster path to building cash flow with rental properties—so you can get out of the financial grind and do more of what matters in your life.

Inside, you will:

  • Make more money in less time with better property and market analysis
  • Find the best real estate deals with budget-friendly (and time-friendly!) methods
  • Learn how to build an all-star team that saves you time and money
  • Discover low-risk financing techniques and avoid big mistakes
  • Negotiate effectively and authentically to get more offers accepted
  • Organize and outsource your rental business to free up time and energy
  • Learn how to buy properties free and clear of debt for a simple, low-risk portfolio

Chad Carson's book has been a light bulb "ah ha" moment in my journey into real estate investing, teaching me to focus on the 'why' behind my pursuit of financial independence through real estate. His approach, emphasizing freedom over mere accumulation, resonated with me, showing how a 'Small and Mighty' portfolio can lead to a fulfilling life centered around family and community. The personal stories, practical advice, and focus on meaningful goals rather than just numbers have shifted my perspective and approach to investing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Chad shares the GIFT of freedom using real estate as the vehicle... a MUST READ!

Chad writes with humility, confidence, and precision. He's rightfully earned his title of COACH because it's abundantly clear how much he cares about helping others in their real estate journey.

This book is phenomenal because Chad helps us to figure out WHY we're pursuing real estate in the first place. Most of us are looking for FI (financial independence), the highly sought-after measure of financial security as a way to explore the freedom of doing what matters most to us in life.

Chad illustrates why real estate is the near-perfect vehicle to achieve this. He then shares examples, stories, strategies, and insights on how to do this all the while keeping us focused on the PRIZE of freedom... NOT just doors. His perspective isn't seen in most real estate investing books and is a refreshing take on REI in a crowded space.

Highly recommended! You won't regret it, and it's clear I'm not alone in this sentiment.

Congrats COACH! You've done it again.

“Coach” Chad Carson has it figured out. Going 10x is the right answer for Grant Cardone and some investors but the majority of us are more likely happy with a Small and Mighty portfolio. The Small and Mighty portfolio is the foundation of a great family and community centered life.

If you look closely at your local market, you will find pockets of small and mighty Mom and Pop investors who have quietly lead great lives and been successful businesses for the past many decades. This is the silent majority of real estate investors who leverage real estate for free lives on their own terms.

In the last five years my portfolio has grown to a medium size and we are working to make it mighty. It’s so easy to get caught up in the grow, grow, grow — grow or die mantra and lose sight of why you started this in the first place. Reading this book really brought me back to base and helped me reconnect with our original goals.

Chad’s wisdom and focus on the WHY and the WHAT of life provides great guidance on building and running a Small & Mighty portfolio that is the enabler of the life you want to live not the end itself.

Five stars - a must read for anyone building a portfolio destined to support a life focused on family, community and fun.
