In this week’s episode of Money Talk, I sat down with Mike Turner, a real estate entrepreneur, author, and educator with over 20 years of experience building wealth through real estate. Mike brings a fresh, practical take on how to get started without betting the farm, the mistakes to avoid, and why he now focuses on manufactured homes and partnership-based investing to create real passive income streams.

Whether you’re just curious about real estate or ready to take your first step, this episode will help you see investing in a new light. We break down REITs versus direct investing, why debt can be so risky, and how to start building income streams that aren’t tied to your time.
