Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha: Entrepreneurship and Self-Improvement Podcast · Scott Trench: How to Fast-Track Financial Freedom and Early Retirement | Finance | E367 · 8 Sep 2025 podcast

I'm actually at less risk because I have at least a chance of getting income from a tenant in that property.

And I get to know the area that I'm living in.

And for the rest of my life, I don't have to pay that price again.

I know that area.

I know that property.

I know the properties like it.

I know how to value them and I can drive excellent returns at that point.

So active real estate investment is a really, really powerful tool for this median or maybe even upper middle class income earner who wants to get ahead.

It is a very unpopular tool and you're going to see doctors and lawyers and dentists and entrepreneurs lose their shirts if they try to actively invest in real estate with anything close to max leverage because they can't justify paying that price and taking that away from their business for most cases.

I think an entrepreneur should be a passive investor.

If you're saying, what should you do with your money here?

I would be shocked if you're doing anything other than building a pretty conservative investment portfolio with stocks and bonds and maybe a small allocation to REITs.

And everything else allows you to spend 100% of your time building your business and serving your audience, which is your highest and best use.

And I would imagine you have a very large cash or liquidity position on top of that, which synergizes well with entrepreneurship.

That's what most entrepreneurs should do.

If you have a bug for real estate investing, then you can consider passive investing.

So this is for people who are passionate about reviewing deals.

And a lot of entrepreneurs consider themselves angel investors or want to get involved in other things.

A great outlet for that is to look at pitch decks for syndication offerings in the real estate space.

So someone's buying an apartment complex or building a ground up development, whether it's single family or whatever.
