Matt McCurdy had a solid 9–5 job on paper, but the corporate life wasn’t for him.<br /><br />Long days indoors and a lack of control over his time pushed him to ask a simple question: there had to be a better way. Matt set out with a clear plan to replace his W-2 income with rental income, and he made it happen.<br /><br />On this episode, Matt breaks down exactly how he did it. He shares how many doors it took to replace his paycheck, how he financed his properties, and how he continued buying rentals after walking away from his W-2 income.<br /><br />We also dive into his current strategy, why he’s focused on paying down debt, and the real pros and cons of paying off mortgages versus keeping leverage.<br /><br /><a href="https://rentalincomepodcast.com/episode552" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://rentalincomepodcast.com/episode552</a><br /><br /><b>Matt's Book:</b><br /><br /><a href="https://amzn.to/454MjHp" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cornfed Millionaire</a><br /><br /><b>Thanks To Our Sponsors:</b><br /><br /><a href="https://rentalincomepodcast.com/ridgelendinggroup" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ridge Lending Group</a> - Making investment Mortgage process simple and stress-free.<br /><br /><a href="https://midsouthhomebuyers.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MidSouth HomeBuyer</a><a href="https://midsouthhomebuyers.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">s</a> – Turnkey Rentals In Memphis &amp; Little Rock.
