Brian Waters | Fire Captain | Real Estate Investor | The Rental Property Playbook 🚒🏠 I’m a Los Angeles County Fire Captain who’s built a $4.5M+ rental portfolio with 20+ Properties — all while working full time in the fire service and raising a family. My investing journey started by listening to the BiggerPockets Podcast on my drives to the firehouse. Those episodes completely changed how I looked at money, freedom, and wealth building. Over the past few years, I’ve acquired 21 out-of-state properties across markets like Detroit, Memphis, and Alabama — focusing on turnkey and value-add rentals that create cash flow, appreciation, and long-term equity. My strategy blends the stability of turnkey investing with the forced appreciation of value-add rehabs, using solid teams and smart leverage to grow efficiently from 2,000 miles away. Today, through The Rental Property Playbook, I teach busy professionals how to build passive income and financial freedom the same way I did — one smart property at a time. If you’re into turnkey or value-add rentals, out-of-state investing, or just want to connect with other investors who started with a podcast and a dream — let’s connect. 👊 https://www.rentalpropplaybook.com/survey-v2
