On this episode of the Passive Income Playbook, Pascal Wagner interviews Joel Friedland, a veteran industrial real estate investor and founder of Brit Properties. Joel shares his journey from cold-calling tenant leads in the 1980s to building a 100+ property portfolio—all purchased without using debt. He explains the appeal and stability of Class B industrial buildings in the Chicago market, his strategy of selling to users rather than investors for premium pricing, and the importance of investing with operators who prioritize safety and long-term thinking. Joel also offers a grounded take on reshoring trends, cautioning that labor shortages—not tariffs—will be the limiting factor for a U.S. manufacturing boom.
