Wall Street does not prioritise individual financial control.   Financial freedom is defined as passive income exceeding monthly expenses. Take control of personal finances rather than relying on external managers. A clear financial operating system is essential for achieving financial goals. Real estate must produce passive income to be effective - potential future capital appreciation should be a secondary consideration. Understanding your investor DNA helps with making better investment choices. Debt freedom does not necessarily equate to financial freedom.     *** Follow me on social media👇🏼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gavinjgallagher/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gavinjgallagher/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@gavinjgallagher/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GavinJGallagher  *** #investment #realestateinvesting #propertyinvestment
