Find Your Strategy, Scale Your Portfolio with Michael Albaum, Ep. 684

Michael Albaum began his real estate investing journey over a decade ago with turnkey single-family homes. Recognizing the power of real estate, he has spent the last 10+ years owning and operating a diverse portfolio, including condos, small and commercial multifamily properties, value-add projects, NNN-leased properties, and short- and mid-term rentals—even expanding into international investments.  

While building his portfolio remotely, Michael worked a full-time job and developed a curriculum to teach others how to achieve financial freedom through real estate. He has since worked with thousands of investors worldwide, helping them navigate the complexities of investing and successfully build their own real estate portfolios.

In this episode, we talked to Michael about his journey on how he evolved as an investor, managing out-of-state properties, his investment strategies, value-add multifamily vs. triple net leases, his education program, and much more.
