Investing in Turnkey Rental Properties from Anywhere in the World with Matt Bowles

April 5, 2023 | , , ,

Investing in real estate as a nomad might sound impossible. When you’re traveling all the time, how can you buy a property, fix it up, find renters, and manage it? As it turns out, there is a way, and it doesn’t involve renovations or interviewing potential tenants—or require you to be local to the property.

In today’s episode I’m chatting with Matt Bowles, longtime nomad and cofounder of Maverick Investor Group, which helps people purchase turnkey properties that already have tenants and property managers in place. He shares why these types of properties are such great investments especially if you’re living the nomad lifestyle as well as the benefits of working with a nontraditional brokerage like his and how such an investment can give you consistent passive residual income for  years to come.

Matt has run his business from 70+ countries since going nomadic in 2013.  His business model gives him flexibility and independence, and now he helps others have the same by building income that supports them as they travel the world. This episode will give you some food for thought on how to approach investment properties in an advantageous (and relatively hands-off) way.
