Join your host, Bob Mastroianni, and guest, Tim Lyons, NYFD Firefighter and Cityside Capital principal and managing partner, as they talk about real estate investment and how he turned the dread of the pandemic to his advantage. Tim shared his long-standing intention of getting serious about real estate investment to spend more time with his family and build a passive cash flow. When Covid 19 hit, he was on the frontline, mainly doing CPR. For fear of being a virus carrier and transmitting this to his family whenever he comes home, Tim and his wife decided to take precautions by switching places with his mother-in-law. For nine weeks, he started going home to his mother-in-law’s place while his mother-in-law was at their home with his wife. He used this period to learn about real estate, build connections, and eventually launch his business. To learn more about Tim’s success story, tune in and enjoy!
