Episode 360: Distressed Deals, Passive Cash Flow, & Brokerage Success, with Justin Hoffman
In this episode of the Massive Passive Cashflow Podcast, I sit down with real estate investor, broker, and team leader Justin Hoffman, founder of Team Hoffman in Milwaukee, to explore how a childhood lesson in property investing turned into a thriving multi-pillar real estate business. From buying and flipping distressed properties to managing a 4,500+ transaction brokerage and property management firm, Justin reveals how to build lasting wealth through cash flow, equity growth, and relationship-driven business.
We discuss finding off-market opportunities like estate sales and foreclosures, converting property management into a revenue-generating funnel, leveraging 1031 exchanges and equity lines for growth, and why Milwaukee’s market—with its affordability, strong schools, and low taxes—remains one of the Midwest’s most underrated cash-flow havens for investors.
