Meet Marco Santarelli

Marco Santarelli is a two-time Inc. 1000 entrepreneur, investor, author, speaker, podcaster, educator, and Broadway producer.

He is the founder and CEO of Norada Capital Management and Norada Real Estate Investments (the largest nationwide provider of turnkey investment property).

Marco is also the host of the Passive Real Estate Investing show — the show where busy people like you learn how to build substantial passive income while creating long-term wealth.

He purchased his first real estate investment at the age of 18. He successfully handled the entire rehab and property management of his first property without ever taking a course or reading a book on the subject.

Marco went on to get his real estate license and sell residential real estate for three years before leaving real estate sales to pursue other active business ventures.

Because of his love and passion for real estate, and desire to help others succeed in building their wealth through real estate investing, he eventually returned to real estate investing and founded Norada Real Estate Investments in 2003, a successful real estate investment firm focused on helping other investors build wealth through the power of real estate.
