As an aspiring real estate investor, you possess a spirit of independence as well as a desire for financial freedom. What if you could take that self-determination to the next level and essentially become your own bank? Patrick Donohoe is on a mission to teach you how to take control of your money with the Perpetual Wealth Strategy, taking advantage of a particular kind of life insurance policy to facilitate real estate investment, secure retirement funds, and build a legacy that you can pass on to your children.
Patrick is the president and CEO of Paradigm Life, a financial services firm committed to changing the way their clients look at life and wealth.
