TGCI 90: From W2 to living off just passive investments. Yes, Financial Independence!

In today’s show, Pancham interviews Ryan McKenna - full-time real estate investor, syndicator, and founder and CEO of McKenna Capital.

Ryan has been balancing his full-time job, passive investing, and building his network when he finally builds up enough capital to leave his job and start his own private equity company to help others to invest passively in different syndications. 

Today, he has grown his passive investments into different asset classes, an investor in more than 50 opportunities and with $1 billion worth of real estate and business assets!

In today’s episode, Ryan shares his wealth of knowledge when it comes to different asset classes and sponsors. He will share why diversification is important to him, his philosophy in his business, how he builds his network, and the emerging asset classes today!

What makes syndications stand-out and why is it a better way to invest? Listen to this episode to find out!
