Patrick Grimes | Passive Investing Mastery


Beyond Just Real Estate


Every two weeks Patrick's team hosts a mastery series across gold, crypto, parking lots, litigation funding, and more.


His philosophy — the wealthy do not put 100% into real estate.


They allocate roughly 26% into real estate and 25% into other alternatives.


True financial security means investing in assets that do not rise and fall together.


Litigation Funding — The Opportunity Most Investors Miss


Patrick's firm lends to attorneys on contingency cases — appraising legal fee agreements instead of properties.


90% of civil litigation settles before trial.


His fund focuses on cases near settlement — low risk, high visibility on outcome.


How He Got His First Deal


Patrick worked for free for years — doing due diligence walks, underwriting, and slide decks.


He did not know his partnership percentage until after his second deal closed.


He was focused on learning from the right people.


That approach launched his career faster than anything else.


Moonlight Coaching Round — Patrick Grimes


For New Investors:
Allocate across real estate, energy, and legal services — non-correlated assets.


That is true financial security.


Balancing Business and Life:
Move from W2 to contractor when ready.


It gives you control so you can work when brokers need you — not just nights and weekends.


Starting With Little Time or No Money:
Find winning operators and offer to help.


Do not ask what is in it for you.


Add value first — your career will accelerate faster than any other path.


Why Passive Investing in Real Estate Is So Powerful:
Syndications give you geographic, sponsor, and asset class diversification — all in one strategy.
