On this episode of the Passive Income Attorney podcast, Seth is joined by Billy Keels as they take a deep dive into the pros and cons of (really) long distance real estate investing. Billy knows a thing or two about long distance real estate investing, since he invests in the United States while residing in Barcelona, Spain. We’ll give you the knowledge and tools you need to confidently diversify your portfolio by removing all the borders. Enjoy the episode!
“Realize that when you focus on your life, on your family, and your finances, that’s going to give you the best long-term return.”
HIGHLIGHTS:
Here’s a breakdown of what to expect in this episode:
How Billy went from growing up in Ohio to living in Barcelona, SpainThree major events that changed Billy’s life and led him to alternative investmentsChallenges and differences between investing actively in small multifamily vs. passively in large multifamilyDiscover how to invest in real estate from anywhere in the worldHow to invest in precious metals, energy and ATMsWhat is Return on Sleep (ROS) and why you need to maximize itDiscover how to work full time in a successful career while scaling your real estate investingHow to maximize time management as a W2 employeeAnd so much more!
ABOUT | BILLY KEELS:
During his corporate career, Billy put his leadership and relationship-building skills to good use to help clients get to the root of issues that were holding them back from full success. Billy earned his stripes as a true problem-solver, a skill he carried into his new entrepreneurial life.
What made him popular with employers who sent him across the globe to meet with Fortune 500-level clients is the same thing that makes him popular with investors, buyers and sellers in real estate today… his skills in coming up with real solutions that work in the real world for real people!
Billy says that he was happy enough in his JOB, but something was missing. An emptiness and longing for a different life chewed on him, pulling him to what he knew he wanted to do more than anything else. Billy wanted to be an entrepreneur who brought two worlds together. He wanted to give individuals where he lives the chance to invest in properties on US soil.
So he took steps and kept on the path to his goals. KeePon Cashflow is the result of his efforts.
Today Billy is an international real estate entrepreneur, problem-solver, author, coach and mentor. He sees opportunities where others often don’t in real estate.
No “overnight success,” Billy continues to work toward his vision and goals. Topmost on his list? To build a bridge between investors and buyers in Europe with sellers in the US.
