BTM199: Turo, Taxes and Tenants for Passive Income with Jeff Badu

On today’s show, Jeff Badu, real estate investor and entrepreneur joins us to discuss all things business and passive income.

After quitting an unfulfilling corporate job as a Big 4 accountant, Jeff started renting his personal car for $1,000 to aide in the growth of his upstart tax business. Through this process Jeff quickly realized the power of passive income and grew the car rental fleet to produce an automated 6-figure business before fully focusing on building out his tax business. His segue into real estate came as a desire for more passive income and to restore underserved communities.

Today this serial entrepreneur has acquired over 100 units of residential and commercial real estate and sits with Daray to discuss life as a former employee turned business owner.
