I Traded My Rentals for “Passive” Real Estate (Worth It?)


Listen Later

Want passive income? We mean truly passive—no tenant phone calls, no toilets, no evictions—just checks sent to your account. This is the dream of every real estate investor, and today’s guest, Chris Lopez, actually achieved it. He did what we preach on every single episode—bought single-family rentals and small multifamily buildings and ran them right—but at some point, he realized the cash flow was too low, and the headaches were too high. So he switched, finding a type of real estate that is truly passive.


At one point, Chris’s rental property portfolio was only making him a meager $20 per hour. Doesn’t sound like financial freedom, does it? He dipped his toe into passive investing, invested a little more, then a little more. Now, he’s heavily on the passive side. 


Chris is on today to show you how to do the same. Got a lot of equity but low cash flow? Turn that rental into bigger, better, and more passive income. Tired of dealing with tenants but still want financial freedom? You can exchange your rentals for a passive income stream. We’re talking about debt funds, value-add syndications, and other passive investments that enable investors to earn more while doing less.


Join Chris’s 5-week cohort to learn how to transition from active landlord to passive investor (while multiplying your cash flow).
