Real Estate Investment Strategies for Engineers with Brian Armstrong, SE


Listen Later

Getting the PE does wonders for increasing your income. Period! But if you want to become financially better off, shoving that extra dough into traditional 401ks is..well, not the answer! ❌

In this episode, I chat with Brian Armstrong, a civil Structural Engineer turned real estate investor who’s used his high salary as an engineer to build a passive income machine with real estate! 💸

After 12 years investing in real estate, he realized other engineers (read: you! 🫵) have exactly what it takes to get started in this world as well. 

That’s when he launched Progress Capital Group, a company focused on helping engineers make the money they work hard to get…work even harder for them with real estate syndications. 🏘️

If you’re an engineer with an interest in real estate for passive income, in this episode, Brian spills the beans on how to do it right…just like he did. 😉
