True Passive Income is the Holy Grail for most Real Estate Investors. However, its not always easy to separate ourselves from the Day-to-Day Realities of Investing and figure out ways to create a team, systems and processes that will free up more time and energy for other pursuits. In this episode we're going to discuss why a good plan violently executed today is better than a perfect plan executed next week.
Gary Hall is an Entrepreneur, Passive Income Strategist, and the Operations Manager of Westshore Property Management in Muskegon, Michigan. Gary's going to share concrete examples of the systems he's put in place throughout his career to create passive income while building his real estate portfolio.
We also go into detail on a low income 11 unit that he's turning into an Airbnb cash cow, as well as his first 'blind pool' syndication and the lessons he learned while raising over $400,000.
Gary also discusses the Financial Business he started while in College, Whether Dave Ramsay's advice applies to Commercial Investors, and his outlook on the West Michigan Market.
If you're serious about treating your Real Estate Investing as a Business, then I know you're going to get a lot out of this episode.
