Dave Meyer: 我认为房地产投资不仅仅是财务上的成功，更重要的是它如何改变我们的生活方式。通过房地产，我们能够选择居住地，建立人际关系，并有时间追求个人爱好和社区项目。重要的是找到一个适合自己生活方式的投资策略，保持投资组合的可管理性，并专注于实现个人目标。 Chad Carson: 我在2003年开始了房地产投资，并在2007年意识到，大规模的房地产投资非常耗时。我开始房地产投资的初衷是为了有更多的时间去徒步旅行和出国旅行。因此，我选择了小规模但强大的投资方式，即建立一种生活方式房地产业务。这种投资方式可以提供时间、金钱和灵活性，让我能够在职业生涯中穿插多个“迷你退休”，享受生活。重要的是要区分金钱和时间，并通过长期投资来实现财务自由。
