So many of us are looking for passive income. That's the thing that really unites us all. We're looking for passive income to leave our jobs, have a better life, or retire as early as we want to. But that’s not something that can be achieved by having a job. No matter how high your salary is, you will never be paid your full value and chances are you’ll be stuck working for other people. And that’s if your job isn’t taken away by someone (or something) else. This is something that today’s guest has hacked for himself. Dustin Heiner is an expert and investor who quit his job at 37 years old after having achieved financial freedom by building passive income through real estate investing. Tune in and learn why an outcome like his is not an impossible dream but an opportunity within arm’s reach. Want to talk to Scott?

One of the top questions that I get from real estate investors is "How do you find distressed apartment loans?" The answer is pretty easy if you know where to look but you have to understand that just because you are buying the debt doesn't mean you are going to end up with the property and the cashflow.Finding the distressed deals is the first part and we use a couple of sources to find a list of banks or servicers with distressed debt.
