The world is at a point of consumption that is too high to be sustainable. How do you lower that? By renting things that you only need occasionally. Many products are bought to be used once, then are thrown away since they won't be needed by the owner anymore. What if you were able to rent that product to a neighbor and make a little cash instead of just tossing it? That's why Jimmy Eberhard started Fluid Market. It's a marketplace where you can take your "junk" and rent it out to others who need or want to use it.

The earlier you get started investing the better. Scott and Walker have taken that step and are way ahead of their peers on their investment journey. They currently own 4 cash flowing units in Denver worth over $800,000 and they did it with very minimal financial strain.
