The Passive Income MD Podcast

In this episode, Peter takes the question he heard most at PIMDCON, is real estate still worth it right now, and puts it to three people who are actively in the deals: Dr. Larry Daugherty, Phil Copulsky, and Taylor Hawks. They break down active versus passive versus debt investing, why the market reset is creating opportunities, and the one question each of them would ask before handing money to a sponsor. If you've been sitting on the sidelines trying to decide whether to get back in or get in for the first time, this conversation gives you a clearer way to think about it. Tune in!
