In this episode of The Better Than Rich Show, host Andrew Biggs talks with real estate investor and tech executive Nathan Murith, who has built a $5K/month rental income stream—all while keeping his full-time W-2 job and spending just 20 minutes a day on his portfolio.
Nathan debunks the myth that success demands burning the boats and going all-in. Instead, he shares how thoughtful automation, disciplined calendar use, and a long-term mindset can create powerful results over time.
This episode is essential listening for any high-performing professional looking to invest smartly, maximize time, and prioritize what matters most—without sacrificing family or personal wellbeing.

- Real Estate Is a People Business—Build Your Team First
Before you buy property, build your ‘Core 4’ team: real estate agent, property manager, lender, and insurance broker.
- Discipline + Delayed Gratification = Freedom
Nathan's long-term approach has resulted in meaningful income and a legacy plan for his kids.
