Hello my friends, and welcome to another episode of Passive Real Estate Investing. I'm your host, Marco Santarelli. Well, today I am recording not from my office and on my normal microphone that I usually use. I am in Florida in my hotel room recording this on my laptop. So if the audio quality is a little bit off, I apologize. I've been traveling for the last three weeks, going from one event to another. It's been a crazy last three weeks, and I'm finally heading back home in two days from now. But I wanted to get an intro, an outro done for the next episode, which is this week's episode. And I was on Candy Valentino's podcast recently. She's the author of Wealth Habits. And actually, I had candy on my podcast here not too long ago, probably, I'm guessing, six or eight weeks ago. And she wanted me to come onto her podcast, and I said, of course. And we had a great conversation. In fact, we covered all kinds of topics and went all over the place. It was not just real estate, but we talked about creating wealth and preserving wealth and what it means to me and all kinds of great stuff. And she liked it a lot. And I asked her for a copy of the recording on her podcast episode on her podcast, and I thought, you know what? I will just publish that on my podcast. And that's exactly what I'm doing here. So I'm just recording this quick intro and I'm gonna append the recording of the actual interview that I did with Candy. And hopefully you like it and enjoy it. There's some nuggets of information in there that I think you can use as takeaways. Anyway, I had a good time. It, we went for I think about 45, 50 minutes, if not longer. So it was longer than both of us expected to go, and we could have gone for at least another hour. But I hope you enjoyed today's episode.

So without any further ado, here's my interview by Candy on her podcast and hope you enjoy it.

Oh, guys, I cannot wait until you listen to this interview with Marco Santorelli. He is a two-time Inc. 1000 entrepreneur. He's been investing in passive real estate for decades. He's an author, he's a Broadway show producer. He's invested in so many other businesses. It's really incredible to talk to someone that has the depth of experience like he does, and is also able to break down the data and what's going on in the market now in 2023. He's the founder, OFTA Capital Management, and NATA Real Estate Investments. And I love his strategy of how he's helping investors. We even go into the interview and disagree on one thing. I mean, not totally disagree, but we are coming at it from two different perspectives. So I always love those types of conversations as well. Let's dive in, guys. I am so excited for you to listen in to this interview, and I am super pumped to have you on the show. So thanks so much, Marco, for joining us.

Candy's my pleasure to be on. It's I'm really looking forward to this.

Yeah. You know, we connected on your podcast, which you have a great podcast you've been doing for a long time when I was promoting my book, and I loved our conversation, so I wanted to be able to bring you on because you're already doing stuff and you've been doing it for a long time. There's so many people in the real estate space that are just now talking about it, and maybe they have their first deal or their second deal, but you've been doing this a really long time and teaching it. So can you share a little bit with the audience just about wh...
