Markian Sich is not only one of our biggest fans and listeners, but he has also put into practice a lot of the things we talk about. He’s a third-generation Ukrainian immigrant who learned about the opportunities that our great country provides its citizens and as a result, he started to pursue real estate investing as a method of securing his financial future.

He’s an active duty Marine who teaches what he has learned about real estate investing to others in the military through his course and community at Active Duty Passive Income. We talk about the benefits of owning a turnkey property, what to look for when investing in real estate, different ways to monetize your investment and some of the first steps you can take towards creating passive, mailbox income for yourself.

When you’re done, be sure to listen to our shows with Scott Carson and Cory Boatright as we discuss more ways to create real estate wealth, how to buy a property with no money down and the treasure trove of real estate they people are ignoring. 

“All these light bulbs went off and I realized what, in my humble opinion, what makes America tick and what was the cornerstone of American wealth is that it’s real estate” - Markian Sich
