Summary:
In this episode, we sit down with Daniel Hack, co-founder of Connection Capital and owner of The Mad Beet in Pacific Beach. Daniel shares his journey from tech sales to flipping 16 homes—a stressful path he calls “brain damage”—and why he shifted to building a real estate fund focused on truly passive investing.

We discuss how his fund works, the returns it delivers, how he vets developers, and the advice he gives high-income earners torn between active real estate and passive opportunities. Daniel also breaks down tax strategies, lessons from deals gone wrong, and his top tips for anyone looking to transition from a W-2 career into real estate investing at scale.
