Paul Shannon is a real estate investor, fund manager, and co-host of the PassivePockets podcast. After spending 15 years in medical device sales, Paul transitioned into full-time real estate in 2019. He has acquired over 200 residential units through creative strategies like BRRRR and joint ventures and is an LP in 40+ deals across multifamily, industrial, debt funds, and more. Today, he runs Invest Wise Collective, an opportunistic investment fund focused on delivering diversified returns through both GP and LP positions.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Must Ask, here. Key Takeaways Paul left a successful sales career to pursue real estate full-time after realizing he wanted more purpose, freedom, and control. He failed as a property manager early on but used that lesson to scale through partnerships and better team delegation. Invest Wise Collective takes a capital-agnostic, asset-agnostic approach to investing—balancing risk, return, and diversification. Passive investors should focus on sponsor alignment, risk tolerance, and consistent underwriting inputs over flashy return metrics. Community and mentorship are essential for new and seasoned LPs alike—there's power in learning from others' experiences.     Topics From Medical Sales to Real Estate Freedom Paul started with single-family rentals and flips, managing properties himself while still in corporate sales. In 2019, he left his W2 job with a modest portfolio, savings runway, and a desire to build something meaningful. A pivotal moment came when he outsourced property management and focused on acquisitions, unlocking rapid growth. The Rise of Invest Wise Collective In 2023, Paul and partners launched a fund to pool capital and invest across asset classes. The fund focuses on both GP and LP positions, enabling flexible capital deployment based on risk-reward profiles. Their early strategy emphasized debt positions for income and capital preservation, later pivoting to multifamily as opportunities emerged. Lessons for New Passive Investors Focus on the sponsor first, then the deal—good operators can rescue average deals; bad ones can ruin great ones. Underwriting inputs matter more than IRR projections—don't get seduced by high returns without understanding the assumptions. Diversify across operators, asset types, and loan maturities to mitigate risks like market timing or interest rate exposure. Don't let FOMO drive decisions—there will always be more deals. Be intentional, not reactive. The Power of Community: Passive Pockets Paul is co-host of Passive Pockets, formerly Left Field Investors, now owned by BiggerPockets. The platform provides deal reviews, sponsor evaluations, educational content, and LP peer collaboration. It helps investors go from 100-level beginners to 500-level LPs through shared experience and due diligence transparency.

Advice for Aspiring Investors Seek out a community that provides support, shared knowledge, and confidence to help you navigate real estate investing. Take the time to understand each investment and ensure it aligns with your financial goals and risk tolerance. Remember real estate investing is a long-term journey with a goal of achieving financial independence and living life on your own terms. Share your knowledge with your family and friends, reminding them they don't have to follow the conventional path.  Navigating Real Estate Investing  [00:22:37] If you want to be an effective real estate investor in passive syndications, you need a community... so you have other people you can talk to, share information with. And that's really the core of real estate investing for me. [00:35:28] You really need to do your own due diligence. You need to check and make sure you're comfortable. You can't invest based on someone else's recommendations, but the community is there to help you make that decision. [00:40:13] I want to encourage the kids to enjoy themselves along the way, not to save it all for old age and retirement. Enjoy the journey while continually trying to grow your wealth to support that journey. WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT INVESTING? If you're new to passive real estate investing, our FREE 7-day email course is perfect for you.
