A 105-day road trip, 8 states, and over 4,700 miles—this summer wasn’t just a vacation. It was a reminder of why I chose real estate investing to create the freedom my family and I now enjoy.
This summer, my family and I went on an incredible adventure, spending 105 days traveling through 8 states. Last Sunday was the first time we’d been home since May 24th! We covered 4,740 miles, stayed in 21 different hotels, spent 59 nights in Airbnbs, and enjoyed 25 nights with family and friends. We were gone for three months, two weeks, one day, nine hours, and 32 minutes—and every second was a reminder of the power of the BRRRR method and real estate investing.
Our trip wasn’t just a break; it was a living example of the freedom real estate provides. Owning rental properties has given us the flexibility to take extended trips, knowing our investments are working for us even when we’re away. The BRRRR method (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) is a powerful strategy that has helped us build a steady stream of passive income, enabling our family to explore, connect, and create memories without worrying about financial stability.
The best part of using the BRRRR method for real estate investing is the freedom it grants my family. It’s not just about making money—it’s about creating the flexibility and time to do what we love. For busy parents like us, balancing work, family, and side hustling in real estate, this freedom is invaluable.

During our 105 days on the road, we stayed with friends and family, met new people, and experienced new places. We had a few bumps along the way, like some car trouble, but we felt secure knowing our rental income kept us financially stable. Planning for this trip was possible because of the time and location freedom that comes with real estate. The BRRRR method has allowed us to build a portfolio of rental properties that not only generate income but also allow us to live life on our own terms.
This journey reinforced why real estate is more than just a job or side hustle for us. It’s a way to create the life we want—a life where we can travel, be together as a family, and experience life beyond the day-to-day grind. Through the BRRRR method, we’re able to grow our investments, which lets us go on long trips like this one without being tied to one place or job.
Now that we’re back home, I look back on our journey with immense gratitude. We didn’t just travel 4,740 miles; we made memories that our family will treasure forever. This trip was a powerful reminder of why we chose real estate and the BRRRR method—it’s given us the freedom to live life fully, to focus on what matters most, and to create lasting memories with our family.
For busy parents who are side hustling in real estate, this kind of freedom is within reach. The BRRRR method can help you build a life of flexibility, family time, and financial security. So, if you’re looking to create more freedom and make real estate work for your family, consider the BRRRR method—it’s not just about building wealth; it’s about building the life you truly want.
