In this episode of the Sky’s The Limit, Mike talks with Zach Zimmer, founder of The Passive Life, who walked away from the corporate grind to build a real estate portfolio he fully owns. Zach explains how a five-year mindset shift took him from chasing titles in private equity and manufacturing to acquiring more than 150 real estate deals and holding 53 cash-flowing single-family rentals.

He breaks down why he avoids syndications, how the BRRRR strategy and hard money lending fueled his growth, and why he kept his W-2 income until his passive earnings surpassed it. Zach also discusses losing seven figures in syndications, pivoting back to direct ownership, and getting laid off twice—first in fear and later with full confidence thanks to passive income.

Tune in to hear how Zach built true freedom on his own terms and how you can start doing the same today.
