Kathy Fettke: Turning Passion into Passive Income with RealWealth

What if a personal crisis led you to discover the true power of real estate investing?

In this episode of SF Commercial Property Conversations with Bruce Bean, Bruce sits down with Kathy Fettke, founder of RealWealth, to talk about how she turned a life-altering moment into a mission to help others build passive income through smart real estate investing.

Kathy shares how her husband’s melanoma diagnosis forced her to rethink everything. With an over-leveraged home in California and little backup protection, she quickly learned how rental income could provide financial stability. That experience sparked her journey into interviewing top wealth experts, including Robert Kiyosaki, and discovering key principles that still guide her investment strategy today.

She explains the four fundamentals she looks for in a market: job growth, population growth, affordability, and infrastructure expansion. That framework led her to invest in Dallas before the 2008 crash — helping her and many others avoid financial disaster while building strong cash flow and long-term appreciation.
