#610 Earn Passive Income Through Rental Real Estate Investing (feat. Dustin Heiner)

What if you could build real passive income from rental properties without becoming a landlord glued to your phone? In this episode, Mark J. Kohler interviews real estate investor and educator Dustin Heiner to break down how beginner investors can build a rental real estate business that generates consistent cash flow — without doing all the work themselves. Dustin shares how getting laid off pushed him to rethink everything, how he scaled to 30+ single-family homes and nearly 1,000 apartment units, and why most new investors make a critical mistake by buying property first instead of building the business first.
