"This book delivers everything you could ask for... from strategy to tactics, but it's so much more than that: It's a deep and thoughtful look at how to achieve your financial and life goals, and most importantly, how to define what 'enough' truly is."
—Brad Barrett, co-founder and host of the ChooseFI Podcast

You don’t need to build a massive real estate empire to achieve financial freedom, and you don’t have to sacrifice what matters to build wealth. Rather than chasing a goalpost that always moves, a small and mighty investor keeps their strategy simple to maximize flexibility and build the life they want.

Chad Carson (aka Coach Carson) intentionally built a small rental property portfolio to give his family full financial independence while requiring less than two hours per week of his time. In this book, he shares practical, step-by-step strategies for real estate investors who want more freedom, not another job. Whether you're new to real estate or hoping to downsize, this practical guide will show you a simpler, safer, and faster path to building cash flow with rental properties—so you can get out of the financial grind and do more of what matters in your life.

  • Determine the property types and locations that make the most money with the least time 
  • Uncover budget-friendly (and time-friendly!) methods to find the best real estate deals 
  • Learn how to build an all-star team that saves you time and money 
  • Discover low-risk financing techniques that avoid big mistakes 
  • Negotiate effectively and authentically to get more offers accepted 
  • Systematize and outsource your rental business to free up time and energy 
  • Learn how to buy properties free and clear of debt for a simple, low-risk portfolio

Just what I needed to read in my investing journey!!

I came across Chad Carson when I googled "which mortgage to pay first". Then he mentioned his book Small and Mighty Investor, which I downloaded the audio book. It's exactly what I needed to read. I felt fully leveraged, and for the last 3-5 years, the message was always "use OPM", "never pay off your mortgage", "fully leverage", etc. I was not feeling it, and started getting interested in paying down my mortgage. This book was able to clarify and put into words what I'm experiencing. I'm an Ender, not a Starter or Builder. I need to start reaping what I sow, increase my cash flow, and decrease my debt. This book was PERFECT for me! Thank you Chad!

Highly recommended for beginner investors

As someone who has put in quite a bit of time learning as much as I can before making my first real estate purchase later this year, I have found this book to be invaluable. I’ve purchased several other BiggerPockets book and follow a bunch of podcasts, but Chad’s content is the best IMO - bar none. He makes things easy to understand and provides you with a ton of actionable ways to make your real estate goals come true. Highly recommended.

About the Author
Chad Carson (aka Coach Carson) is an author, investor, podcaster, and life-long learner who used real estate investing to reach financial independence in his 30s. With a portfolio of thirty-plus houses and small multifamily properties, Chad's primary real estate strategy is buy-and-hold rentals—but he has also used private lending, wholesaling, fix-and-flips, and creative financing. His current passion is teaching other investors how to build a small and mighty rental property business so they can get out of the financial grind and do more of what matters. Based in Clemson, South Carolina, Chad and his family have also lived abroad in other countries, including 17 months in Cuenca, Ecuador and 12 months in Granada, Spain. When not writing about himself in third person, vying for the silliest dad award, or playing pick-up basketball, Chad enjoys volunteering with a local non-profit he co-founded to create a network of walking and bike paths in his hometown.
