The Truth About Passive Income Investing with a $225M Real Estate Investor

Most people say they want passive income. Very few understand what it actually takes to build it. In this episode of Let's Talk Real Estate Investing, I sit down with August Biniaz, co-founder and Chief Investment Officer of CPI Capital and LinkedIn Top Voice, to discuss how investors can build wealth through commercial real estate, multifamily investing, and build-to-rent communities. With more than $225 million in multifamily and build-to-rent assets, August shares the lessons he's learned from raising capital, navigating market cycles, protecting investors, and building a successful private equity real estate firm. In this interview, you'll learn: ✅ What multifamily investing really is ✅ The difference between multifamily and build-to-rent communities ✅ How Canadians can invest in U.S. commercial real estate ✅ How syndications, funds, and joint ventures work ✅ What passive investors should look for before investing ✅ How to perform proper due diligence on operators ✅ Why did some investors lose money during the recent market downturn ✅ Why August believes we're near the bottom of the real estate cycle ✅ How to raise capital and build credibility with investors ✅ The importance of education, trust, and investor relationships One of my favorite takeaways from this conversation: "The horse is the asset class. The jockey is the operator. Find the right jockey."
