#50 - Real Estate Investing: Building Resilient Wealth and Financial Independence with David Phelps

Passive Income Pilots

On this episode of Passive Income Pilots, Tait and Ryan interview David Phelps. Dr. David Phelps, founder of Freedom Founders, spent 27 years as a former general dentist and business owner. His life took a significant turn when his daughter Jenna faced leukemia. This personal crisis prompted Dr. Phelps to reassess his priorities and shift his focus to what truly mattered: his family. Today, Dr. David Phelps advocates for a Plan B — a strategy he has employed and helped hundreds of dentists and practice owners implement. Instead of conforming to traditional retirement advice that expects individuals to accumulate millions of dollars, he champions an alternative approach and educates others about real estate investing and financial freedom. David shares that accumulating wealth is not merely about numbers; it's about constructing a life that allows for time with loved ones and personal well-being. He emphasizes the value of having a diversified portfolio and the importance of real estate as a stable asset class. Real estate investing served as the bedrock for David's financial independence, granting him the autonomy he needed when his daughter faced a life-threatening illness. David also talks about the Freedom Founders, the community he founded that empowers professionals to invest passively while securing their financial futures. Enjoy the show!
