Ep 160: How to Invest in Real Estate to ...

Gillian Perkins
About this episode

Today, I’m talking with my friend Dustin Heiner.


Both of us run online businesses where we earn income by selling digital products, but we also both invest in real estate.


I earn the bulk of my income, both active and passive, through my online business, but Dustin earns the bulk of his income directly through his real estate investments. So we both had a lot to learn from each other!


I wanted to bring Dustin on the show because we don’t always talk about what to do with your profits and passive income once you have it and investing in real estate is one way to passively multiply the income from your online business.


I had a lot of questions I wanted to get Dustin’s opinion on about how to do this most successfully, how to get started, and especially how to do it in today’s economy.


Dustin Heiner is a real estate investing expert and Founder of Master Passive Income

Being Successfully Unemployed at 37 years old by investing in real estate rental properties, he is now on a mission to help everyone to quit their job and never have a job again. He also helps his students build a successful real estate investing businesses all over the country.

Through his work at Master Passive Income, Dustin Heiner has become one of the leading real estate rental property experts and has helped countless numbers of others to start investing in real estate rental properties.


Listen to the full episode to hear:


  • How Dustin turned getting laid off from what was supposed to be a stable job into being “successfully unemployed” through real estate investments
  • Why Dustin doesn’t buy property in hopes it will appreciate value, but for the income it can bring now
  • How passive income scales as you purchase additional property
  • The first steps you have to take to get started investing in real estate
  • Why you might want to invest outside of your own home area
