This year has been fantastic for Andrew Davis and his team at PassiveInvesting.com. They have raised $175 million in equity in one year, approaching $1 billion in acquisitions. How did they achieve that level of success so quickly? In this #TechandTacticsTuesday episode, Andrew talks about his real estate passion and journey. He is good at building relationships and securing trust, but it’s just impossible for him to reach that number, receive all the calls, and do all the work by himself.
