On the His & Her Money Show, we’ve covered real estate investing from a lot of different angles:...but never live this.

As Byron and Sharnice lost their jobs and needed a reliable source of income. Byron had tried real estate investing a few years before but was never able to make it a good profit.

Then one day, Byron heard a podcast about a very interesting real estate investing opportunity with very low cash and didn’t require having a perfect score.

That opportunity was investing in mobile homes.

Find out how Byron and Sharnice took this investing opportunity (that most of us didn’t hear about) and turned it into new streams of income for their family and education for a whole new kind of investor.

Today’s episode features another couple’s debt-freedom journey...with a twist. Like all of the other couples we’ve interviewed, Brad and Tara worked together to conquer a mountain of debt. The difference between Brad and Tara’s story is their path toward debt freedom.
