How Did Joel Miller Build 40+ Years of Wealth Through Off-Market Deals?
What does it take to build lasting wealth in real estate through market crashes, interest rate swings, and changing times? In this episode of the REI Freedom Podcast, host Jeremy Beland sits down with Joel Miller, a real estate investor, educator, and bestselling author with more than 40 years of experience, to explore the timeless principles that create long-term success.
Joel’s journey began in 1978 when he purchased his first rental property, and over the decades he has built a diverse portfolio using creative financing, relationship-based deals, and long-term investing. He has flipped more than 100 houses, acquired entire portfolios from retiring landlords, and mentored the next generation of investors, including his own son. One of his most memorable transactions includes purchasing 13 properties from a retiring doctor with no money down, no interest, and no payments for 18 months.
In this in-depth conversation, Joel and Jeremy discuss the value of off-market deals, the power of leveraging other people’s money, and why real estate remains an IDEAL investment: Income, Depreciation, Equity, Appreciation, and Leverage. Joel also breaks down common myths about passive income, explains the mindset required to take consistent action, and shares practical advice that both new and experienced investors can apply immediately.
This episode covers:
• How Joel navigated high interest rates in the early years and why market cycles should never stop you.
• The importance of understanding your local market and thinking long-term.
• How one investor inspired Joel early on and sparked his desire to buy rental properties.
• Why almost all of Joel’s deals were off-market and how relationships created his best opportunities.
• The benefits of holding properties for decades and building generational wealth.
• How he transitioned from radio to pioneering the mobile DJ business while building his portfolio.
• The role of education, mentorship, and overcoming analysis paralysis in real estate.
• The truth behind passive income and what it really takes to scale with teams and systems.
• How Joel’s son is now preparing to take over the family portfolio and continue the legacy.
If you are looking for real-world guidance from an investor who has seen every market cycle and continued to succeed, this episode will give you the clarity and confidence to take action. Joel Miller’s story is a reminder that success in real estate comes from commitment, creativity, relationships, and a willingness to think bigger.
