Passive Investor Tips is a weekly series hosted by full-time passive investor and Best Ever Show host, Travis Watts. In each bite-sized episode, Travis breaks down passive investor topics, simplifying the philosophy and mindset while providing tactical, valuable information on how to be a passive investor. We’re taught to invest in the stock market, hold for the long term, diversify in index funds and mutual funds, etc. — convictions that perpetuate the “buy, hold, and pray” mindset. In this episode, Travis shares how he shed these learned convictions through education, the importance of evaluating odds and market cycles to identify opportunities, and avoiding the get-rich-quick, gold-rush mentality when investing in real estate.   Click here to know more about our sponsors: MFIN CON
