About Vidascend
About Us
Josh and his wife, Patricia, realized the need to generate passive income to experience financial independence earlier in life. He founded Vidascend to share that realization with others and bring them along on the journey.
Taking the road more frequently traveled Like many others, Josh was told to get a degree, work for 40 years, and invest in the stock market. After a lifetime of hard work, they could retire and enjoy the fruits of their labor. But as their careers progressed and promotions occurred, the hours grew longer, and it was hard NOT to let it consume their lives. Time, life's most precious and constrained resource, only became tighter when their family expanded.
The pivot to passive income They realized the need to generate passive income. That's when they were first introduced to real estate investing through single-family homes. Not long after their first foray, though, they had a second realization - the need to scale faster. Despite the early success with single-family investing, acquiring and managing 20, 30, or 40+ individual properties wasn't feasible. Their continuous curiosity led them to multi-family investing.
Now, they want to share this opportunity with others and help them start their journey to financial freedom.
