From W-2 to Wealth Builder: Hannah Pine’s Blueprint for Passive Real Estate Income

In this episode of Women of Wealth, Hawley Woods Gray and Allie Ramo sit down with real estate investor and airline professional Hanna Pine to unpack what it really looks like to build wealth without quitting your full-time job.
Hanna shares her journey from exploring house hacking to mastering creative finance, transactional lending, and institutional-style acquisitions - all while working a W-2 in the airline industry. Her story is a powerful reminder that wealth-building doesn’t require reckless leaps or overnight exits, but rather discipline, relationships, and strategic use of time.
Throughout the conversation, Hannah breaks down complex concepts like OPM (Other People’s Money), seller financing, double closes, and the Morby Method, making them accessible for everyday investors. She explains how she transitioned from trying to acquire properties herself to becoming a connector—structuring deals, aligning capital partners, and earning through lending, points, and ownership without putting her own cash at risk.
Hanna also speaks candidly about the realities of the journey, including the patience required - logging over 2,000 hours before her first paid deal—and the mindset shifts that helped her persist. Integrity, transparency, and the willingness to say “I don’t know” have been key to building trust and long-term partnerships in an industry often driven by speed over substance.
For listeners interested in passive income, Hanna clarifies what “passive” truly means in real estate, how investors can participate hands-off, and why today’s market allows entry points as low as $5,000. Whether you’re short on time, capital-rich, or simply looking for smarter ways to deploy your money, this episode offers valuable insight into modern real estate investing.
This conversation is especially powerful for women balancing careers, families, and ambition - proof that with creativity and the right network, building wealth is possible without burning out or starting over.
