Create Passive Cashflow without Dealing with Tenants with Eddie Speed
Manage episode 516163941 series 3318990
In this episode, I welcome back my good friend and legendary note investor, Eddie Speed. With over 50,000 notes purchased and more than 25 years of teaching under his belt, Eddie is known as the “Note King” for a reason. If you’re a tired landlord looking for less stress and more cash flow—or if you’re simply seeking a smarter, more passive way to invest in real estate—this episode is going to open your eyes.
We dig into how note investing compares to traditional rentals, why now is the perfect time to pivot, and what makes a “good” note in today’s economy. Eddie also shares insider strategies on seller financing, leveraging, and how to generate long-term passive income without the tenant headaches.
