    Kadeem Leslie is a real estate investor, entrepreneur, and bestselling author who built financial freedom before turning 25. He’s the founder of a global real estate team that operates across four continents and helps clients increase their revenue by an average of 40%.

    Kadeem’s journey started with hardship. After losing his mother at a young age and watching his family struggle financially, he made a promise to master money and never let circumstances control his future. By age 15, he started his first nonprofit, Make Someone Smile, delivering 100 care packages to the homeless. A few years later, he published his first book, Full Student: How I Run a Six-Figure Business and Still Get Straight A’s, which became an Amazon bestseller and landed him on the front page of Seton Hall University.

    Today, Kadeem manages a multimillion-dollar real estate portfolio and has helped over 3,000 students worldwide start their own journeys to financial independence. He’s been featured on national TV in Jamaica, NJ.com, and podcasts like BiggerPockets Real Estate Rookies.

    Kadeem’s mission is simple: to help people systematize financial freedom through business, real estate, and investing — without sacrificing time, family, or purpose. He’s proof that you don’t need to be born rich to retire young — you just need the right blueprint and the drive to follow it.

Description

House hacking isn’t just a real estate strategy — it’s a lifestyle shift that can completely change your financial future. Imagine living in your own property while your tenants cover the mortgage, utilities, and maybe even leave you with extra cash each month. That’s the power of house hacking.

In this course, Kadeem Leslie walks you step-by-step through how to do it the right way — from understanding what house hacking really is, to finding your first deal, financing it, and managing it like a pro. You’ll learn how to think like an investor, not just a homeowner, and how to make your living situation work for you instead of against you.

This isn’t theory — it’s based on Kadeem’s real portfolio and his journey from living paycheck to paycheck to building financial freedom through real estate. Whether you’re renting, saving for your first property, or already own a home, this course will show you how to leverage what you have and turn it into a system that produces consistent income and long-term wealth.

What You’ll Learn:

  • The mindset shift that turns you from tenant to investor

  • How to identify the most profitable types of house hacks (bedrooms, multifamily, ADUs, etc.)

  • Where to find and analyze deals that pay for themselves

  • Creative financing options to get started even if you don’t have a ton of cash

  • The essential tools and software that make managing tenants easy and stress-free

  • How to set up systems that keep your property running smoothly — without 2 a.m. maintenance calls

  • How to choose great tenants and maintain harmony in shared spaces

  • The roadmap to scaling from one property to a full portfolio of income-producing assets

By the end, you won’t just understand house hacking — you’ll have the knowledge and confidence to live for free, grow your income, and build lasting wealth through real estate.

  • Beginners who want to break into real estate but don’t know where to start or think they need a ton of money.
  • Renters tired of paying someone else’s mortgage who want to start building equity and cash flow instead.
