Besides, it’s impractical to do 1031 due to the legal and tedious process so syndications will not consider dealing with you. Invest your money the right way, consider tax strategies that will benefit you, and never forget to build relationships with people that may be able to help you get from point A to point B in your investing journey.

In today's coaching call, we are joined by Willie, who is a great example that when you achieve having a substantial net worth ( in his case he’s a little under $500,000) nothing is stopping you from becoming a passive investor yourself.
