Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing with Jonathan Greene

021: The Backstage Guide to Real Estate Investing with Matt Picheny

One common theme among real estate investors is that they stay working at their job until they’re able to do real estate full-time. You obviously need capital to do the investment. But aside from that, there are a couple of other things you have to consider to ensure your success in the real estate investing space before fully diving in. In today’s episode, Matt Picheny talks about only doing real estate as a hobby for 10 years until he started doing it full-time. Since then, Matt has focused on developing passive income streams that enable investors to write their own stories and choose how they want to spend their time.

Matt Picheny is a real estate investor, operator, entrepreneur, best-selling author, and two-time Tony Award®-winning producer. As Founder and Managing Partner of Picheny, he has served as a General Partner on nearly 5,000 apartment units representing more than $675 million in real estate acquisitions. Before real estate, Matt spent nearly two decades building businesses and leading digital initiatives for global brands including Visa, IBM, Verizon, and Coca-Cola.

Matt began his career as an actor and later returned to the theater as an investor and producer. His #1 best-selling book, Backstage Guide to Real Estate, draws on that unconventional journey to explore real estate investing, financial independence, and using capital to create positive change.
