Benjamin Franklin coined a classic quote that we’ve come to love here at FIG,
“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest. When it comes to investing, nothing will pay off more than educating yourself. Do the necessary research, study and analysis before making any investment decisions.”
Keep that in mind as you’re scrolling through this list. Find the one that suits you best. Find one that will turn your morning routine or your evening commute into the best self-investment decision you’ve made so far in 2019.
We listen to a lot of podcasts over here at the Fourplex Investment Group, and they’ve helped us refine our game and be open to new opportunities.
Here’s our Top 5 Real Estate Investor Podcasts!

#5 Passive Real Estate Investing
Marco Santarelli started young. At just 18 years old, Marco bought his first investment property—rehabbed—ran property management—all without a single course or book to help him.
Impressed? Well now he’s gone on to found Norada Real Estate Investments—create DealGrader (an investment quality scoring system)—as well as write books.
