You’ve Been Lied To: Why Real Wealth Isn’t Just About Buying Properties w/ Nick Najjar | Episode 101

Real Producers

“Invest in real estate, it’s the true path to wealth” they say.

That’s not the whole story.

True wealth doesn’t come from simply racking up assets, but by building business enterprises that produce passive income.

So while buying up single-family, multi-family, short-term rentals and other investments is a big piece of the puzzle, that’s only step one. To fully experience the power of real estate, we have to take it a step further, and run those investments like a business.

The challenge is: most people (even real estate agents) get so caught up in earning the next check and spending it that they don’t do what it takes to build wealth until it’s too late.

How do we invest the right way? What’s the secret to success in real estate?

In this episode, I’m joined by entrepreneur, investor and one of the most successful Real Producers publishers in the country, Nick Najjar. He shares how he’s been able to have so much success in business, and what people forget about building wealth.

Investing in real estate doesn’t create true wealth, that’s only step 1. What actually creates wealth is acquiring properties and then running them like a business enterprise. -Remington Ramsey
