Passive Multifamily for Busy Professionals with Vaibhav Puranik

What if the biggest thing holding you back in real estate investing isn’t a lack of knowledge, but a lack of clarity? Over the past year, I’ve had more one-on-one conversations with new and experienced investors, and I’ve noticed the same thing again and again. People think they need to know which market to invest in, whether they should buy rentals, flip houses, or invest passively. But underneath those questions, they’re often really asking, “Am I making the right decision?” In this episode, I’m joined in the studio by author and syndicator Vaibhav Puranik to discuss how busy professionals can build wealth and diversify through passive real estate without the headaches of midnight maintenance calls. We’ll talk about: ✔️ How Vaibhav transitioned from a software engineer at NASA to a full-time real estate syndicator ✔️ The power of passive investing and why real estate offers unique tax and cash-flow advantages over the stock market ✔️ How to carefully vet syndication sponsors, check track records, and evaluate risk-adjusted returns ✔️ The importance of looking at underwriting assumptions like rent growth and exit cap rates ✔️ Why workforce housing (B and C-class properties) provides steady demand and honest tenant bases ✔️ How to use self-directed IRAs to fund passive investments ✔️ Insights from Vaibhav's new book, Own Real Estate, Not the Headaches, and how AI tools can assist with due diligence Get Vaibhav's book, "Own Real Estate.
