A few years ago, John Pearl learned that the nuclear power plant he works at will be shutting down in 2025. He decided that he would start investing in multifamily real estate to ease the transition down the road. He quickly realized the multitude of benefits and the personal freedom one can achieve through investing in real estate. He is now on a mission to educate as many folks as possible about what he feels too many are missing out on.
