Episode 39: Mark Podolsky

If you're looking for a real estate investing strategy that doesn't require dealing with tenants, tools, rent payments while collecting checks, Mark Podolsky may be the mentor you're looking for. On the Passion for Real Estate Investments podcast, we've talked to asset managers, fund managers, and more….but we haven't talked to a person who bought and flipped real land and turned it into cash. Mark was so tired of the 45 minute Monday morning commute that he started dreaded Fridays. He was looking for a way to make money where he could control where and how he worked. He found that way when he was introduced to buying and flipping raw deals for pennies on the dollar.   This strategy is what Mark introduces us to in this episode. Mark breaks down his first attempt at buying land with just $3,000 and how he flipped that using tax liens to start getting cash flow. He also walks Fuquan through an investing scenario so you can get an idea of how he is able to turn parcels of land into cash without waiting for rent payments, dropping a lot of money, or building a wall or fixing a leaky toilet. The system Mark created from his real estate investing strategy allows him to earn cash for less than 2 hours of work. Tune in to learn how to get started!
