In this episode of Pillars of Wealth Creation, Todd Dexheimer interviews Chris Larsen of Next Level Income about managing multiple investments and businesses while building systems that support long-term success. Chris discusses how real estate cycles, generational shifts, and growing demand for senior living influence where his company invests and why strong operations create opportunities across different asset classes.
Chris shares insights into his investments in multifamily, senior care, car washes, and medical devices, along with a new Blue Line Ventures fund focused on AI-resistant, blue-collar businesses. He also explains how Next Level Income partners with business owners by taking minority stakes, often 10–20%, while helping implement systems and improve operations.
Chris also shares his free e-book, How to Be Financially Free by 40, outlining five steps he took to achieve financial freedom and helping readers learn from his 15-year journey. Learn more at NextLevelIncome.com.
