Listen Later

On this episode of the Best Ever CRE Show, Pascal Wagner interviews Emma Powell, a real estate investor, homeschool mom of six, and chief investing officer at High Rise Group. Emma shares her strategic journey from being a passive LP investor to an active GP and now back to passive investing, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing cash flow over equity appreciation for early retirement. She discusses the pitfalls passive investors often fall into, why fixed-rate debt and risk management matter, and how her experience losing money on a deal reshaped her approach to due diligence. Emma also provides valuable insights on diversification, tax strategies, and why debt investing can be a powerful tool for consistent income. Whether you're new to passive investing or considering transitioning to active real estate, Emma’s lessons are invaluable.
