How Many Properties Do You REALLY Need to Retire?

How many rental properties do you actually need to retire?

Spoiler: It’s probably less than you think. In this video, Thach Nguyen breaks down a simple 4-step plan to calculate your freedom number — the monthly amount you need to live comfortably — and shows you how to work backwards using real estate to hit that goal.

Using real examples from the Seattle market, Thach shares how many properties you might need, how to buy them using FHA or VA loans (even with little down), and how to pay them off using the snowball method. He also dives into the often overlooked benefits of tax write-offs and compound appreciation that help you build long-term wealth.

Whether you're a beginner or already on your journey, this video will give you clarity on how to escape the rat race and retire with peace of mind.
