Successful real estate investors think like business owners, not like hobbyists, and that’s the key to building a passive-income "empire".

Lots of people dabble in real estate. Some own a few rental units; some flip one or two houses a year; others slowly build a real estate portfolio so that by the time they retire, they own a dozen properties. And then there are those real estate “unicorns” who somehow manage to acquire 30 or 40 properties after only three years in the game—and who go on to build legacy-level wealth. What’s their secret? What do they do differently? It’s all in their mindset.

These successful people think like business owners, not like part-time hobbyists. They are growth oriented from day one. They invest in their businesses, they pursue opportunities aggressively, and they use leverage to increase their buying power. They also understand the importance of asset protection and good tax planning. But they pursue these strategies in ways that empower their business rather than limit it. They use smartly designed entity structures that provide them with privacy, risk mitigation, security, and tax benefits but that don’t hold them back when it comes time to grow the business. That’s next level asset protection, and that’s what this book is all about.
