Getting the PE does wonders for increasing your income. Period! But if you want to become financially better off, shoving that extra dough into traditional 401ks is..well, not the answer! ❌

In this episode, I chat with Brian Armstrong, a civil Structural Engineer turned real estate investor who’s used his high salary as an engineer to build a passive income machine with real estate! 💸

After 12 years investing in real estate, he realized other engineers (read: you! 🫵) have exactly what it takes to get started in this world as well. 

That’s when he launched Progress Capital Group, a company focused on helping engineers make the money they work hard to get…work even harder for them with real estate syndications. 🏘️

If you’re an engineer with an interest in real estate for passive income, in this episode, Brian spills the beans on how to do it right…just like he did. 😉
