Are you eager to deploy capital but wary of making the wrong decision in this uncertain economic climate? Passive investing could help you capture the long-term gains of real estate—without the operational burdens of active management. Today’s guest provides low-risk, time-tested strategies for any stage of your investing journey.

In this episode, we interview Pascal Wagner—seasoned limited partner and host of “The Passive Income Playbook” Podcast. With a cash-flowing rental portfolio that spans multiple major markets and a professional background in venture capital, Pascal is experienced in both the active and passive sides of real estate investing. He unveils his preferred entry-level approach amid macro headwinds—an option that gives you a diversified investment, relative liquidity, and immediate returns.

Pascal also shares how to conduct rigorous due diligence on real estate syndications and avoid one of the most frequent—and financially damaging—mistakes new investors make. Whether you’re looking to make your money work harder or replace your income, Pascal delivers actionable insights for both aspiring and advanced investors.
