0:11.2

I'm your host, Ken McElroy, joined by my co-host, Daniel.

0:15.2

Let's get right into this episode. Hello and welcome to the Ken Macquarie Show. I'm your host, Anil, here with Ken.

0:56.2

Hey, what's happening everybody? I hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving. We're just still getting back from, you know, back into the routine.

1:01.9

Yeah, we were in Sedona. At our resort up there. That's so fun. So beautiful. Can you ask, what strategies have you found most successful in generating passive income through real estate? Inc. says off-market deals rule and they provide the most cash flow. Yeah, they can't. They're hard to find. Yeah, right. To be networked, so it's a heck of a heck of an answer, but it's true. Most people are, they just go the easy route,

1:30.3

but off-market deals are everywhere. Right. Now, where would somebody find an off-market deal?

1:36.6

with really low rents and high expenses. So they're everywhere. They're everywhere you go. Well,

2:35.9

and also, you know, we know people that look for off-market deals and residential by just looking

2:40.6

for lawns that are deteriorating and houses that are falling apart. And, you know, maybe that person is

2:46.1

either a landlord that's not taking care of the unit or maybe they're an owner and they can't
