Search “how to make passive income” online, and there’s a good chance you’ll see “real estate investing” on every list. Why? Real estate investing is one of the most time-tested, stable, and repeatable ways for the everyday American to get rich, build wealth, and start collecting passive income every month. But you’ll never get going if you don’t know where to start. So to make your 2023 as successful as ever, David Greene, investor, agent, and host of the BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast, sat down to walk through the eleven steps it takes to go from onlooker to real estate investor.

Real estate is NOT a “get rich quick” type of investment, but it can help you build wealth in a surprisingly short amount of time. Just ask David, who spent years working overtime as a cop, slowly building up a real estate portfolio that eventually led him to hit financial freedom before most people buy their first house! In this episode, David will walk step-by-step through everything a new investor must do to get their first rental property, how to analyze real estate deals once you find them, and how to repeat the system, so your passive income stack grows bigger every year!
