E253 Billy Keels - Long-Distance Investing, Using Real Estate to Take Ownership of Your Life & Conquering Fear to Pursue Your Dreams

Billy Keels is on a mission to help those high wage earners and/or retirees that have been forgotten about by so many in society. Billy is an international real estate entrepreneur, problem-solver, author, coach and mentor. He sees opportunities where others often don’t in real estate. No “overnight success,” Billy continues to work toward his vision and goals. Topmost on his list? Building a bridge between investors and buyers in Europe with sellers in the U.S. He is the founder of KeePon Cashflow.

Tyler and Billy discussed pushing past fear to pursue your dreams, long-distance investing, and how Billy uses real estate investing to build wealth, solve problems, leave a lasting legacy and more.

Highlights include:

• How Billy built a life in Europe, and the value of immersion
• The pivotal failure event that Billy experienced abroad
• Not letting fear get in the way of your dreams
• Billy’s experience of getting into real estate investing in Barcelona and shifting his focus to properties in the U.S.
• How Billy recovered from losing 33% of his portfolio
• The pressures of working in a high-profile role while building a real estate portfolio on the side
• How Billy has used real estate as a vehicle to get control over his life
• The importance of actively listening and being present
