Ever wonder if passive real estate investing actually works when your properties are over 1,500 miles away? Or if “turnkey rentals” are really as hands-off as people claim?

In this episode, I sit down with a real investor and client who shares how he went from 3 rental properties to 7 and tripled his wealth while living in California and investing in out of state.

📽️ What’s in this episode:
This is a real-world passive real estate investing case study, not theory.

You’ll hear how this investor started with a small inheritance, why he chose turnkey rental properties, and how he scaled his portfolio over time without managing tenants, fixing toilets, or turning real estate into a second job.

We talk through what actually made the biggest difference in his results, including market selection, property management, long-term thinking, and why investing out of state was the smartest move for his lifestyle and goals.

Listen until the end because he shares the mindset shift that allowed him to keep scaling instead of getting stuck at just a few properties.
