461 | Long-Distance Investing, Local Expertise: Real Estate Freedom for the Mobile Investor w/ Michael Santorios
Manage episode 500972070 series 2985794
Feeling stuck investing only where you live? Many believe local real estate is their only option but what if you could build wealth from anywhere?
On this episode of the Not Your Average Investor Show, we're joined by Michael Santorios, a highly mobile JWB client who retired at 53 after building a long-distance rental portfolio that gave him freedom and peace of mind.
Join JWB Co-Founder, Gregg Cohen, and Show Host, Pablo Gonzalez, as they talk with Michael about:
- Overcoming the “time crunch” of hands-on, local investments
- Leveraging a 1031 exchange to build a remote portfolio in Jacksonville
- Achieving stress-free passive income and a truly mobile lifestyle through JWB’s turnkey model
- Gregg’s insights on “time ownership” and how Michael’s portfolio gained in appreciation
This is a powerful conversation for anyone looking to break free from traditional real estate constraints and embrace a truly location-independent investing strategy.
