🚀 Ever wonder if you can keep your day job AND invest in real estate? Stewart Heath, a CPA 🧮, shows you how by focusing on stable, cash-flowing medical office buildings 🏥. He avoids risky tenants, works backward from desired returns, and uses careful strategies so you can grow wealth without leaving your career. 💼🔥
🔑 What You’ll Learn:
1️⃣ Balancing Work & Investing
📌 Stewart stays fully employed as a CPA while investing in fully-leased properties. He’s all about reliable income right from the start—no guesswork, just steady rent checks. 💰🗂️2️⃣ Picking the Right Deals
🏢 Even older buildings work if they’re in good shape. Thorough inspections 🔍 ensure no surprises, and focusing on strong leases means dependable earnings.3️⃣ Saying “No” to High-Risk Tenants
⚠️ He passed on a building with a brand-new restaurant 🍽️ because startups often fail quickly. Instead, he prefers seasoned or chain operators who bring stability from Day 1.4️⃣ Working Backward from Returns
💡 Need at least 5% cash-on-cash? He sets that goal, then adjusts his offer based on interest rates and expenses, ensuring his investors get the returns they expect. 🎯📈5️⃣ No “Potential”—Just Contracts
📜 He’s not banking on future promises. He buys “financial contracts” (solid leases) that guarantee income now, so he’s not hoping on what might happen later. 🏦🤝6️⃣ Refinance & Grow
🔄 After a few years, he refinances, returns tax-free cash to investors, and still owns the asset. He only sells at natural exit points, like avoiding costly repairs or heavy competition. 🏗️💸7️⃣ Outperforming a Savings Account
💰 Leases have built-in rent bumps, often leading to double-digit returns. Savings rates can vanish overnight, but these contracts keep pumping out income. 💵💯8️⃣ Tips for Beginners
⏳ New to investing? Vet your sponsor’s track record and honesty. Start simple—a single-family home 🏠 or short-term rental—and let tenants pay down the mortgage. Over time, build a portfolio that runs like clockwork. ⏰🔧9️⃣ Focus on Cash Flow Before Risks
🌱 Steady, reliable cash flow first, then explore riskier ventures. Once that base is strong, you’ve earned the right to aim higher. 🏆✅🔧 Passive Investor Benefits
📈 Real estate hedges against inflation, offers tax perks, and stays calmer than the stock market. With professional management, you enjoy growth without the grind. 😌🤝💬 Key Takeaways:
⭐ “Stable cash flow beats speculation.”
⭐ “Know your sponsor’s past—no mistakes means no honesty.”
⭐ “Refinance to grow wealth without selling.”
⭐ “Build a solid base, then push for bigger returns.”🎙️ Don’t miss this value-packed episode—listen now!

From Spreadsheets to Rentals 💼➡️🏘️
Sharad Mehta began his career at Ernst & Young, one of the largest accounting firms globally. While he appreciated his job, he yearned for time and financial freedom. After reading The Millionaire Real Estate Investor, he decided to explore real estate opportunities within an hour’s drive from downtown Chicago.In August 2010, he purchased his first rental property—a two-unit building—right after the 2008 housing crash.

His walkable commute allowed him to maximize every free moment.Sharad and his wife, who is also an accountant, adopted a debt-free strategy inspired by Dave Ramsey. They lived on one income while saving the other, enabling them to buy their first properties in cash, which set a solid foundation for their investing journey.
Smart Investments 🧮📉

He transitioned to Marcus & Millichap in 2017, where he gained invaluable experience in underwriting and private equity real estate. Despite his success in brokerage, Grant always aspired to be on the principal side of real estate, and in 2019, he began his own investing journey. 📚💼Balancing Real Estate and a Full-Time Job
Grant’s story exemplifies how to handle real estate investing while working full-time. He balanced his job as a broker with his passion for real estate, finding time during evenings and weekends to pursue deals.
