The running joke is that there isn't one; they just keep selling until they can't. In this episode of The Faithful Agent, Cole and I sit down with Rebekah Taylor — passive income strategist, co-founder of MachSpeed Lending, and the American Apartment Owners Association's 2024 Best Passive Income Expert — to ask the question most agents avoid: what's your exit strategy?As a realtor, your time is tied directly to your income. It's transactional; you have to produce to get paid, which means you're constantly trading your most valuable asset for your next commission check. But what happens when you don't want to keep selling, or you reach a season where you can't? Rebekah has invested in over a thousand rental units nationwide and managed millions in private equity, and she's here to show agents that there's a middle ground between "buy all your own rentals" and "throw it in the stock market and forget it."This is a conversation about stewardship. We get into the practical side — house hacking, real estate syndications, self-directed IRAs, hard money lending, and the tax advantages most agents have no idea they're leaving on the table (depreciation, bonus depreciation, cost segregation, and qualified real estate professional status). But we also get into the heart side: how do you discern which opportunities the Lord is actually calling you toward instead of chasing every idea you hear on a podcast?If you've ever felt the golden handcuffs of big commission checks while quietly wondering whether you're building anything that lasts, this one's for you. Rebekah closes with simple, actionable advice on budgeting, living below your means, and putting your money to work so that one day, work can become optional — and you can be present for the moments that matter most.Key TakeawaysYour time is your most valuable asset, so build an off-ramp. As an agent, your income stops when you stop. Creating alternative streams of income protects you when deals fall through and gives you a real exit strategy instead of selling until you're 83.You already understand real estate better than the stock market. Agents have a built-in advantage — you know property, values, and locations. Rebekah's challenge: why pour everything into a market you don't understand when you could invest in the space you know cold?There's a middle ground between active and passive. You don't have to choose between buying your own rentals and doing nothing. Syndications let you come in as a silent limited partner, while debt funds and hard money lending offer another path entirely — without the toilets, tenants, and trash.The tax benefits are massive — and most agents miss them. Depreciation, bonus depreciation, and cost segregation studies can create paper losses that offset your active income. Because realtors can qualify for real estate professional status (track those 750+ hours and talk to your CPA), those write-offs can work against your GCI in ways most other professions never get.Hard money is about speed and convenience. Rebekah's Coke-at-Sheetz vs. a-12-pack-at-Sam's-Club analogy nails it — you pay more to get funded in days instead of waiting weeks on a bank. MaxSpeed runs around 13.5% annualized on roughly six-month terms for flips, builds, and gap funding.The debt fund is the steady, hands-off option. A one-year hold, 10% under $500K (11% over), quarterly distributions, compounding if you reinvest, and backed by collateral. No tax benefits on the debt side — but it pairs beautifully with the equity side that does carry them.Stewardship starts with a heart check. Don't chase every opportunity you hear. Garrett's story — feeling called to be a landlord, then sensing the Lord say "that's not what I want you to do" — is the reminder to ask first. And Joey's $10 million analogy lands the point: if someone trusted you with that, you'd invest time learning to manage it well. That's exactly what the Lord has done.Start with your budget. Know your numbers, live below your means, tithe, and invest the difference. Make the hard choices early so that work can eventually become optional — and you're free to say no without guilt when it matters.Connect with Rebekah:Website: https://machspeedlending.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebekah-taylor1986/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@passiveincomeplaybookrtNeed help winning at work without losing at life?
