Ryan Brennan：我通过房地产投资实现了财务独立，尤其是自住翻新策略。我在2012年购买了第一套房产，之后不断进行翻新和出租，从中获得了被动收入。我住在四单元公寓楼里，租金基本上可以支付我的抵押贷款，大大降低了我的生活成本。在过去的10年里，我翻新了三套房子，又买了一套出租房。我遵循自住翻新的理念，非常清楚两年免税出售的规定，通过这种方式积累了财富。 Scott Trench：瑞安的自住翻新策略是一个重要的转折点，这是一种可以重复的方法，但很少有人会这样做。通过自住翻新，他不仅获得了免税的收入，还降低了生活成本，加速了财务自由的进程。即使在不利的条件下，房屋改造也是一种强大的策略，可以释放人们的财务压力。 Mindy Jensen：瑞安的经历表明，即使在康涅狄格州这样的地方，也能通过房地产投资产生现金流。他的故事也强调了房屋改造的重要性，这是一种可以帮助人们更快实现财务自由的策略。
