They say you must quit your job to build wealth. The reality? You can keep your W-2 and still grow big. In this episode, Jason Hsieh shares how he used his W-2 as a superpower to build real wealth in multifamily real estate. He breaks down how to pick under-the-radar markets, which KPIs actually matter, and how to scale responsibly when you’re busy and far from your properties. He also covers when to choose equity growth over cash flow and how partnerships help you scale with less stress.👤 Guest BioJason Hsieh immigrated from Taiwan at 13 and later built a 12+ year career in aerospace in San Jose.
