About this episode

What makes an investment worth the risk? I sit down with Tony Nguyen to discuss commercial real estate, evaluating opportunities, financial leverage, and the importance of protecting your downside. Tony shares lessons from his investing journey, including why the numbers alone don't tell the whole story and how his priorities have shifted toward family, time, and fulfillment. Tony also reflects on an early influence in his investing journey: *Rich Dad Poor Dad* by Robert Kiyosaki. The book helped him see the potential of rental properties as a source of ongoing income. It inspired his first financial goal of earning $3,000 per month in passive cash flow instead of relying solely on commissions. Years later, Tony's perspective has evolved beyond financial independence to include protecting his time and being present for his family. **📲 Connect with Tony:** Instagram — @thecretony Listen to this episode of The Leverage Lounge and discover why protecting what matters can be more valuable than simply chasing more. #TheLeverageLounge #MikeCollier #RealEstateInvesting #CommercialRealEstate
