Vanguard LIVE — Free Live Masterclass

Sound familiar?

You've done everything right in your career. So why does it still feel like everything depends on it?

Your income is high, but your time isn't yours

You work hard for your income. You're a top earner, and your job takes most of your time.

Your career is all-consuming

You built something you're proud of, but it costs you time with your family.

You've dabbled, but it's not adding up

Maybe a 401(k), some stocks or a small rental. You're not sure it's leading to freedom.

Two types of high earners

Which one are you today?

Over his journey, Leslie realized there are two types of high earners: the Paycheck Professional and the Portfolio Professional.

The Paycheck Professional

Who they are

Highly paid and proud of their career, but knows it isn't building long-term assets.

What they have

The W-2 is the main income. Savings sit in a 401(k) or stocks, the only place their money really works.

How they think

Thinks like an earner. Sees real estate as viable but needs more information. Assumes apartment buildings are for people with more money or experience.

How they live

Time belongs to the job. Comfortable today, but aware everything depends on staying in it.

The Portfolio Professional The shift

Who they are

Keeps the career and builds ownership alongside it.

What they have

Owns commercial real estate, specifically apartment buildings, and has more than one source of income holding the family up.

How they think

Sees salary as the starting point for wealth, not the whole plan. Thinks like an owner. Seeks knowledge to reduce risk, and learns from people who've done it.

How they live

Work is increasingly a choice. More say over their time and more time with family.

Vanguard LIVE is about making the shift from paycheck to portfolio.

What you'll learn

One hour. Six real ideas.

Why your high income is your launchpad. Your salary is the starting point for building wealth, and the skills that built your career are the same ones that help you understand apartment investing.
How to prioritize wealth creation, not just your career. The three beliefs that keep high earners on the sidelines, and why none of them create the life you want.
The Wealth Creation Formula: Education + Exposure = Confidence. Why reading alone rarely leads to action, and what does.
Why apartment buildings. What makes multifamily a different vehicle from single-family rentals and the stock market.
The path from paycheck to portfolio. A first look at the stages of owning apartment buildings, from finding and evaluating a building to accessing capital to managing the asset.
Live Q&A with Leslie. Bring the question that's been sitting with you.

The real barriers

Three beliefs that keep high earners on the sidelines

"I don't have the time with my busy career."

"I don't have the capital yet to do commercial real estate."

"I don't know where the good deals are."

All of these might feel true. The problem is that none of them create the life you want. Leslie explains how to move past each one. Join live to hear it.

The path

The path to owning apartment buildings, in three stages

Stage 01

Acquisitions

Understanding markets, deals and the team you need.

Stage 02

Capital

Your capital, other people's capital and your reputation.

Stage 03

Asset Management

Running the building and planning the exit.

Leslie walks through the path at a high level live. You'll leave knowing the stages and where to start.
