What is this whole "financial-freedom-through-real-estate-investing" thing people are doing, and is it real? Maya interviews Deandra McDonald, a real estate investor and influencer with 320k+ followers on her TikTok, @simplerealestate. Deandra says she became financially free at 28 after five years of house-hacking (buy a property, rent part of it, live in the other part, and have your tenant pay your mortgage!). Deandra only found her path after several life choices went wrong for her in her early twenties. Now she uses her experience (and fun personality) to teach others her real estate ways.  Follow Deandra:TikTok: @simplerealestateInstagram: @deandramcdonaldhttps://www.deandramcdonald.com/ Follow Maya Lau at:X: @mayalauInstagram: @itsmayamoneyTikTok: @itsmayamoney See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
