Know what you're buying properties FOR.
Put YOUR expenses, income and goals into the FIRE number calculator work, then give your next real estate decision a clear purpose. In Set Goals and Find Your FIRE Number, I'll walk you through the number, the reasons behind it and the plan to work from.
FIRE number calculator: put a number on your goal
What does the life you want actually cost?
Start with four inputs: current expenses, the spending you want, active income and passive income. Work through the hard-bill, discretionary-spend and cashflow worksheets to calculate your monthly target.
Give “financial freedom” a number you can plan around.
Build around what you want your days to become
More time for what? More freedom to do what?
Use the Wheel of Life and I Want To exercises to get specific. The Self Discovery, Internal Dialogue and Your Why lessons guide you through your beliefs, obstacles and 15 to 20 reasons behind your goal.
Turn those reasons into a personal mission statement. Your plan starts with your life, not a property listing.
Make the next step smaller than the whole dream
Work backward from a five-year goal into milestones, accountability and if-then plans for obstacles.
Then use the 30+ Ways to Find a Deal list to choose lead-generation activities to evaluate.
This financial independence real estate class connects your reasons, your math and your next action. Less staring at a big goal. More working through the steps.
Nine recorded lessons. Open the workbook and follow along.
The worksheets are ready. Put your numbers into them as you work through the lessons.

I'm Rich Rice. Let's put your plan on paper.
I've been flipping and wholesaling since 2017 and founded the FIRE Center in 2023.
I built this class around the planning work that connects your number to your next property, strategy and source of deal flow.
I'll walk you through the exercises. You'll work with your own expenses and goals, so the plan is yours.
Rich Rice founded the FIRE Center to help people get out of the rat race and build real financial independence through real estate, which starts with knowing your own FIRE number. He is a Southern California real estate operator and investor whose work spans flips, rentals, creative finance, and property management. Through the FIRE Center he shares what he has learned so others can build a practical, honest path to their number.
