100+ syndications later… what really separates speculation from investing?

Jim Pfeifer—host of Passive Pockets, founder of Left Field Investors (now part of BiggerPockets), and LP in 100+ real estate deals—shares the brutal lessons that turned him from stock-market “speculator” into a true cash-flow investor.

On this episode of The Passive Income Playbook (Best Ever CRE Show), Pascal Wagner sits down with Jim to unpack the biggest mistakes LPs make, how to vet operators with confidence, and why community shortens the learning curve.

In this episode you’ll learn:
→ Why paper assets = speculation, and real estate = true investing
→ The “operator-first” diligence workflow Jim uses to save time
→ How to “community” a deal to surface blind spots fast
→ When to pass on shiny objects (and how to test new theses safely)
→ What capital-call behavior really reveals about sponsor quality

If you want to sharpen your playbook, avoid rookie mistakes, and focus on the asset classes that actually create wealth, this episode is for you.
