028: Michael Blank on The Blueprint to Quitting Your Job with Real Estate

The Lifestyle Investor - Investing, Passive Income, Wealth

Today, I’m talking with Michael Blank — the leading authority on apartment building investing in the United States.

Through his investment company, Nighthawk Equity, he controls over $90 million in performing multifamily assets and has raised over $21 million.

In addition to his own investing activities, his unique training programs have helped his students purchase over 7,600 units valued at over $337 million.

He's also the author of the best-selling book, Financial Freedom With Real Estate Investing and host of the popular Apartment Building Investing podcast.

Not only has Michael dedicated his life to showing people how to achieve financial freedom through real estate, but he believes anyone can do it within a 3-5 year period, regardless of experience or capital.

In this conversation, Michael shares his incredible story of nearly losing everything before winning in the world of real estate investing. You’ll also learn all about multifamily apartments, the power of real estate syndications, finding and assessing off-market deals, and so much more.

If you want to create passive income with real estate so you can live a life of significance and purpose, this episode is for you!
