Show Notes:

Mark Owens is an active Real Estate Investor in the Baltimore Maryland area, where he owns over 100 rental units. Mark was lost in the rat race just trying to figure out his plan until a few months after he bought his first rental (back in 2002).

Since he bought his first rental Mark has fully realized the power of the REI path, and the freedom that comes with it. He learned that you don’t have to follow the same path as your peers, and regardless of what you’ve done in the past you CAN beat it, if you maintain the right mindset.

He is driven to success by a purpose that is greater than money, he is driven to succeed by his desire for freedom: freedom of choice in his life, time freedom, and freedom to focus on what he feels passionate about.
