In this episode of the Next Level Income Show, Chris Larsen chats with Jim Pfeifer, co-host of the Passive Pockets podcast, about his journey from active real estate investor to a full-time passive investor. Jim shares how his investment community, Field Investors, grew from a small mastermind into Passive Pockets through a merger with BiggerPockets.
Jim emphasizes that community is crucial for limited partner investors, offering knowledge-sharing and networking that can’t be found alone. His transition to passive investing came after realizing that managing properties wasn’t truly passive, despite hiring property managers. Moving to syndications allowed him to focus on analyzing operators and deals rather than operational headaches.
Jim also discusses the importance of liquidity planning, especially as market conditions change and deal timelines extend. He highlights how the ultra-wealthy diversify beyond stocks and bonds, investing heavily in real estate and other alternatives.
The conversation wraps up with Jim’s thoughts on the market, predicting strong opportunities in multifamily and industrial real estate despite current economic uncertainty. He also previews the Passive Pockets Summit happening May 2nd and 3rd in Columbus, Ohio, designed to connect limited partners and general partners for valuable networking and education.
Jim’s message is clear: finding a community that matches your investment style is the key to success.
