Episode 360: Distressed Deals, Passive Cash Flow, & Brokerage Success, with Justin Hoffman

In this episode of the Massive Passive Cashflow Podcast, I sit down with real estate investor, broker, and team leader Justin Hoffman, founder of Team Hoffman in Milwaukee, to explore how a childhood lesson in property investing turned into a thriving multi-pillar real estate business. From buying and flipping distressed properties to managing a 4,500+ transaction brokerage and property management firm, Justin reveals how to build lasting wealth through cash flow, equity growth, and relationship-driven business.

We discuss finding off-market opportunities like estate sales and foreclosures, converting property management into a revenue-generating funnel, leveraging 1031 exchanges and equity lines for growth, and why Milwaukee's market—with its affordability, strong schools, and low taxes—remains one of the Midwest's most underrated cash-flow havens for investors.

What You Will Learn:

• How Justin's investing roots shaped his brokerage success—and why working both sides of the deal (investor + agent) compounds wealth
  
  

• Where to find high-profit distressed deals (estate, divorce, short sales, REOs) and how to market directly to motivated sellers
  
  

• Property management as a hidden goldmine: how it feeds your brokerage, builds repeat clients, and stabilizes long-term income
  
  

• Leveraging equity and 1031 exchanges to scale your portfolio without heavy tax hits
  
  

• The power of reciprocity and referrals: how giving business first can multiply your network and listings
  
  

• Agent growth formula for Q4: 25 new contacts and 10 client touchpoints daily, review campaigns, and value-based check-ins
  
  

• Milwaukee's investor advantage: low-cost entry, strong rental demand, minimal taxes, and steady appreciation
  
  

• How to build relationships that outlast markets—and why direct calls still outperform automation
