When Eric was in college, he was amazed how his regular community college teacher could own a 36-unit apartment building and plan on building a shopping mall. Having that kind of testament in front of him, Eric knew there was something to passive investing.

About the company Martel Turnkey 

About Eric Martel: 

Eric Martel is a Real Estate Investor, Entrepreneur,  Author, and Speaker. He has purchased his first apartment building at just 18 years of age while still at university. After graduation, in his position as an actuary, Eric was dismayed to see hundreds of company pension plans being rolled over into 401(k)s, shifting the retirement risk to employees.  

This made him reconsider traditional beliefs about retirement savings. It also made him question his role as an actuary, so he joined the lucrative technology industry. A few years later, he lost a fortune during the dot-com crash of 2001, and he started looking for ways to earn passive income and stop trading time for money.  

Eric started various businesses, including a gourmet sauce company, but eventually returned to his first love of real estate investing and formed MartelTurnkey. After just four years of rapid success, he was able to retire from his day job. Now Eric wants to share what he's learned, so people don't make the same mistakes he did.
