$65,000/Year in Cash Flow From a 100% Remote Real Estate Portfolio

Bryan Field shares how he built a fully remote real estate portfolio generating over $65,000 in annual cash flow, starting with zero experience. Unable to afford properties in San Diego, he moved to Arizona, learned hard lessons from a costly house flip, then expanded into duplexes in South Dakota, seller-financed portfolios in Arkansas, and short-term rentals in Virginia. His strategy relies on using home equity, choosing markets remotely based on cash flow potential, and reinvesting profits to replace a significant portion of his salary.
