Houston, TX, USA – March 19, 2025 – Many people dream of retiring comfortably, but few take the necessary steps early enough. Ayo Jeremiah, a successful entrepreneur and real estate investor, believes the key to financial freedom is simple: live smarter now, invest wisely, and prepare for the future.
We sat down with Jeremiah to discuss his journey, real estate strategies, and why he’s downsizing his lifestyle to build lasting wealth.
Q: Ayo, you lived in Cancun for nearly two years. What made you move there?
Ayo Jeremiah: “Honestly, it wasn’t even planned. I was working remotely during the pandemic, and I figured, why not take a quick trip to Mexico? I booked a one-week stay in Playa Del Carmen and ended up staying for a year and a half. I fell in love with the place—the lifestyle, the affordability, the energy. Everything was just better. And while I was there, I saw how people were living well without the financial stress Americans deal with daily. It completely shifted my mindset about money and freedom.”
Q: What did that experience teach you about financial planning?
Ayo Jeremiah: “That most people are sleepwalking toward a financial crisis. Too many Americans are hoping their 401(k) and Social Security will take care of them, but the reality is, it won’t be enough. I saw my parents struggle with retirement, and I knew I had to do things differently. That’s when I doubled down on real estate as my main vehicle for building wealth.”
Q: How do you use real estate to build wealth?
Ayo Jeremiah: “It’s all about strategy. You don’t need to be a millionaire to get started. Some people buy a second home and rent it out. Others house-hack—meaning they live in one part of the house and rent out the rest. If you want to scale faster, converting single-family homes into senior assisted living facilities can bring in $3,000 to $4,000 per tenant. That’s not just money; that’s financial freedom.”
Q: You’re working on real estate projects in Houston, right?
Ayo Jeremiah: “Yeah, I’m partnering with business associates to buy cheap houses, fix them up, and turn them into cash-flowing properties. Some we flip into assisted living centers, and others we use the BRRR method—Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat. The goal? Build serious wealth in U.S. dollars while I’m still young, so I can retire comfortably in Cancun.”
Q: Why Cancun?
Ayo Jeremiah: “Two reasons: lifestyle and strategy. Cancun is only two hours from Houston, so I can visit family anytime. It’s got everything—culture, beautiful beaches, amazing food. But most importantly, the cost of living is ridiculously low compared to the U.S. My money goes further there. And after living in Playa Del Carmen for almost two years, I knew I didn’t want to retire anywhere else. Why grind for 40 years just to struggle in retirement when you can build now and live stress-free later?”
Q: You’ve even made personal sacrifices to build wealth—can you tell us more?
Ayo Jeremiah: “Yeah, I’m not just talking about this—I’m living it. I recently sold my luxury car and got something basic. Why? Because a car is not an asset; it’s a liability. That extra money is going into my investments. The way the economy is looking, if you don’t have multiple income streams, you’re setting yourself up for struggle.”
Q: What’s your advice for someone looking to start their wealth-building journey?
Ayo Jeremiah: “Stop waiting. Start where you are. If you can buy a house, do it—even if you’re just renting out a room. Look into using your IRA to own property—that’s a game-changer. A $300,000 home bringing in $1,500 in rent each month could turn into an eight-figure asset over time. The key is getting in the game.”
Final Thoughts
“With the way things are going, financial independence isn’t just a dream—it’s a necessity. The question is, are you going to keep playing by a broken system, or are you going to make smart moves now so you can enjoy life on your terms later?”
