Episode #270: How To Be an Investor, Not a Spectator with Charles Dobens

Passive Income Through Multifamily Real Estate

It is time to understand what it means to actively own and walk the process of having units, not just use your investments as boasting rights and career leverage. Charles Dobens, a multi-family investor, explains how he successfully built a law practice, why felt drawn to create a coaching program, and how the 2008 financial crisis paved the way for his journey. Having started his career in investment at the very bottom, Charles recalls the struggles, successes, and failures that got him to where he is today. He gives advice on how to retain your investors and manage brokers, why every business requires capital, and some free (but very useful!) coaching tips. If this episode doesn’t inspire you to start taking action, get hustling, and stop being a spectator, nothing will!
