0:00.0	Welcome to passive real estate investing, the show where busy people like you learn how to build substantial passive income while creating wealth for the long term.
0:09.7	And now, here's your host, Marco Santorelli.
0:13.3	Hey, everyone, and welcome to passive real estate investing.
0:17.2	I'm Melissa Nash, your guest host, jumping in for now.
