Manage episode 509064270 series 3673702
What does it really take to build wealth through real estate and is passive income just a myth?
In this episode of the Offerin' Real Estate Insights Podcast, Darrin sits down with seasoned investor and real estate coach Ben Walkley to explore the highs, lows, and long-term strategies of real estate investing. From humble beginnings in law school to managing over 120+ rental property units, including everything from apartment complexes to land investing, Ben shares how one investment property changed the trajectory of his life.
You’ll learn why sustainable investing isn’t about quick flips or viral hacks, but about long-term investing rooted in character, service, and intention. Ben unpacks how his commitment to eviction prevention and treating tenants like family has created not just steady cash flow, but generational wealth. He also drops practical real estate tips on screening tenants, fixing units that actually attract top renters, and why saying "no" to 90% of applicants is part of his winning real estate strategy.
Whether you're wondering how to start investing in real estate, looking to expand your real estate units, or curious how to build truly passive income without burning out, this episode is a must-listen. It's a masterclass in building wealth with purpose and proof that when done right, real estate investing isn’t just about properties… it’s about people.
