Hello my friends, and welcome to another episode of Passive Real Estate Investing. I'm your host, Marco Santarelli. Today I am joined with my good friend and industry associate Dustin Heiner. Dustin, welcome to the show.

What's up Marco? Thank you so much for having me on the show. It's, it's so great meeting other real estate investors who have podcasts too, because, you know, we're in the industry, we're helping people, but at the same time, you know, we can actually carry a conversation and have a lot of fun doing it. So I really appreciate you having me on. It's just so great meeting somebody else who invest very similar, you know, because there's a lot of other ways to invest storage facilities. Those are good, don't get me wrong, but I just love, like what, you know, turnkey type properties. I love long-term. I love making sure that I'm making money every single month. But no, thank you so much for having me on the show.

Yeah, no, it's great. So the reason I had such a quick intro and getting you right Introed, is because this is like a very ad hoc, unscripted un bullet pointed episode on really just whatever we want to talk about when it comes to crushing it this year in real estate investing in 2024, how does a real estate investor crush it? So, we're gonna talk about whatever comes to mind, like we're we're just doing this because you've got the Real Estate Wealth Builders Conference coming up very soon, which we're gonna talk about, and it's something that I think a lot of people listening to this are gonna be interested in. So we want to talk about, we want to plug it, it's not a shameless plug, but, you know, we want people to have availability or access to your event. Now, this event is now going into its third year.

I was the keynote speaker for the last two years, and I'll be there again this year. You know, doing whatever I do, I'm gonna talk about whatever I talk about. I'm not even sure what that's gonna be, probably, you know, the economy and whatnot. But yeah, definitely want my audience to attend. And you know, obviously we want as many people from your audience to attend to learn, because you've got a whole bunch of speakers. So before we kind of deep dive into, you know, how to invest in real estate today, mortgage rates, the economy and all that stuff, you know, take a minute or two and, and just talk about REWBCON, what it is, where it's at, how do people attend and what they can expect to learn and take away, because you're gonna be there. Obviously, I'm gonna be there and let's just see who else is interested in going.

Absolutely. And with the conference, I've been to many conferences. So more than likely your audience, they're good investors. They already know that they want to invest. They are most likely already investing. And with that, you've probably gone to any event or some sort of real estate event in general. And usually, 'cause I've been to these and I hate them, it's all hype and sales pitch from the stage. And then they say, now run to the back. It's normally a billion dollars, but it's a thousand dollars today. I hated those because it's all, it's all just sales. And I wanted something that was completely opposite of that because I wanted something that I would want to go to. So if I hate those, let me create something. And then you were Marco, you were one of the first people that I called. 'cause I said, you know what, this is what I'm trying to do.

I really just want to create an event or a conference or something that we can get our communities together, our listeners, our students, our investors, and really just create a big party where we can all come together and help each other to invest. So this year, REWBCON, the Real Estate Wealth Bill conference, it's gonna be in St. Louis,
