Episode #85: Diversification through Passive Investments with Dale Corpus

Apr 6, 2020

Having a diverse passive investment portfolio is important for many reasons. Not only can it help you withstand crashes in certain asset classes, but it also decreases your risk tremendously. Our guest today, Dale Corpus, is here to share with us the importance of having a diverse portfolio. Since 2006, Dale has been investing in income-producing real estate and has recently added commercial real estate syndications in workforce housing, mobile home parks, and self-storage as a way to scale and grow his investing business.
