"One of our big strategies was 'live-in flip,'" Carl, who retired in his 40s and runs the financial independence blog "1500 Days to Freedom," told Business Insider. The Colorado-based couple is wrapping up their eighth live-in flip, in which they buy a house, rehab it while living there, and then resell it. While they haven't earned more than $500,000 on a flip yet, they could on the sale of their current live-in flip. To avoid paying capital gains taxes, "we're actually considering putting one of our daughters on the title," said Mindy. That way, they'd have three individuals on the title and could shield up to $750,000 from capital gains.

When he was working full-time while also DIY home flipping, Carl recalls putting in 80 hours a week. Shifting to a more passive real-estate strategy: Private lendingThe Jensens started experimenting with private lending in 2016. "The private lending generates such a nice return that it's difficult to be like, 'No, we don't want to have the easy money. To get started in private lending, you need capital and a network. They're confident in the people that they're lending to, "and that is the most important part about lending out money: lending it to somebody that's going to pay you back."
