    Aug 7 2025

    In this episode of The Build Up, Malessa and Candice sit down with Antoinette Munroe, a real estate investor and educator who left corporate life to design a freedom-focused portfolio. With just four rental properties, Antoinette reached financial independence through intentional investing strategies like house hacking, BRRRR, and assisted living facilities.

  • Episode 307: The Passive Investing Playbook with Whitney Elkins-Hutten
    Jul 24 2025

    In this episode of The Build Up, Malessa and Candice sit down with Whitney Elkins-Hutten, partner at PassiveInvesting.com and a nationally recognized expert in real estate syndications. Whitney shares how a failed live-in flip became the unexpected turning point that launched her career in real estate. Today, she helps manage a portfolio of over $800 million and educates investors on how to build wealth through passive strategies. She unpacks the mindset shifts needed to go from active to passive investing, how to vet syndication deals, and why education is the most powerful tool investors can leverage.

    Plus, the hosts reflect on the current shift in buyer preferences—from post-pandemic suburban demand to the renewed appeal of urban walkability—and what it means for anyone navigating today's real estate landscape.
