Work with Jimmy & the Vreeland Capital Team to build a 20-Unit Portfolio that will get you the equivalent of a retirement account 3X faster with a third of the capital. Visit https://tinyurl.com/mainstreetpatriot-getstarted - - - - - - - In this episode of The Real Estate Fast Pass Podcast, we sit down with Vreeland Capital Client Harold Powell, a 38-year real estate veteran from Ventura, California, who’s quietly built an 18-property rental portfolio—most of which he’s never even seen in person. Harold shares how he leveraged 1031 exchanges, Section 8 rent bumps, and the little-known “real estate professional” tax designation to unlock over $200K in tax savings—and how he's recycled his capital for infinite returns. From tired landlord deals to cost segregation, he walks us through the exact playbook that’s helped him thrive in landlord-friendly markets while living in one of the most landlord-unfriendly states. If you're a real estate agent, investor, or just someone looking to build lasting wealth without flipping or fixing homes, this episode is a must-listen. 💡 What You’ll Learn: Why Harold treats rental properties like banks —and never visits them How to turn tired landlord deals into instant cash flow The tax strategy every real estate agent should know (but most don’t) What Harold would do differently if he were starting today Why your first two years as an investor are the hardest—and how to get through them
