About Elisa Zhang:

I am an owner and principal of over 1,000 apartment units across the USA. I’m an educator, an artist and a mother of two beautiful children.

I am on a mission to help motivated individuals make money while they sleep and retire faster than they dreamed.

What makes me so confident that I can guide someone to achieving this goal? It’s the exact process I used to replace my annual full-time corporate income of over $200K. I came from the IT world and focused on leveraging the power of real estate investing to form passive streams of income that now funds my family's life, independent from working at a day job.

Why not keep this all a secret for myself?

Sharing the formula for Financial Independence is my way of showing gratitude and adding more value to the world.
