Cindy Byler is a military Army
spouse of 7 years to her high school sweetheart, Jonas. After their
first change of duty station, she found herself needing to put her
career as a music teacher on hold to move three times in three
years. During that season of not
working, she grew bitter toward the lifestyle- she had much value
to add but felt unable. Through much reflection and improvements in
personal finances, Cindy realized the best “job security” for their
military lifestyle was through passive income- ultimately utilizing
real estate to achieve passive income.
As a buy-and-hold real estate investor, Cindy primarily
invests in her hometown-area in Elmira, NY. She has been a landlord
for 5 years. In the past 1.5 years, she has acquired a total of 4
properties and 11 doors. Every unit has gone through or is going
through, extensive remodeling. To make things more interesting, she
currently lives in Central Texas where her husband is stationed at
Fort Hood so all acquisitions, remodeling, and rentals are
managed from over 1600 miles away. Cindy also resigned from her job
as a music teacher to stay home with her young children and focus
on the business that has already replaced her income in so little
time.
