Real estate investor Dave Allred, who today has ownership in over 1,250 properties, officially retired at the age of 36 to spend more time with his family.
  • "Bootstrapping" real estate strategies like wholesaling have exploded in popularity in recent years.
  • Although they've worked in the past, veteran investor Dave Allred says they're not viable in 2023.
  • Instead, Allred says investors should focus on growing their active income to put more money down.

The old adage, credited to Roman playwright Plautus, goes something like this: You must spend money to make money.

Although the phrase was coined over 2,000 years ago, Dave Allred still believes that it holds just as true for investors today.
