ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode of The Wealthy Entrepreneur Podcast, we explore the story of someone who dared to do things differently. Lee Yoder, real estate investor and founder of ThreeFoldREI, shares how he walked away from a six-figure medical career to build a 930-unit multifamily portfolio that generates passive income, compounds wealth and actually gives him his life back.
Tune in to explore how physicians, corporate operators and high-income professionals can leverage multifamily syndication to escape the time-for-money trap, build defensible wealth structures and position themselves for generational exits.
