Join me on the podcast as I sit down with Dan Zitofsky, a highly experienced real estate investor with over 35 years in the industry. Dan shares his journey from flipping properties to building a passive income portfolio through non-performing notes. By rehabbing properties and selling them to investors using seller financing, Dan has effectively transitioned into acting as a bank, earning consistent income without the headaches of tenants or property management.

In our conversation, Dan breaks down his approach to evaluating notes, focusing on whether he’d be willing to own the underlying property. He also shares strategies for maximizing returns by leveraging notes and reflects on how these techniques could have dramatically impacted his career and passive income had he adopted them earlier.

We delve into the importance of setting clear goals, aligning personal values with business decisions, and taking action even when faced with fear or uncertainty. Dan also highlights the value of networking and attending events to grow and refine your vision. This episode is packed with actionable insights and inspiration for investors at every stage.
