In this insightful episode, Dave Dubeau sits down with Noel Christopher, a seasoned expert in the single-family rental (SFR) industry and executive at Fay Financial and Ginstone Companies. With over 68,000 loans serviced for investors across the U.S., Noel reveals what it really takes to scale single-family rental portfolios, even in a market that many assume is too scattered or inefficient to manage at scale.

They also dive into common pain points, like repairs and tenant retention, and why building density in targeted markets is key to successful property management. Key Topics Discussed: The real definition of a single-family rental Advantages over multifamily investing How to scale with less risk through geographic and asset diversification Why property services like repairs and maintenance can make or break your investment Ginstone's all-in-one platform for small and medium-sized investors How Noel and his team help clients avoid default before it happens   - Get Interviewed on the Show! - ================================== Are you a real estate investor with some 'tales from the trenches' you'd like to share with our audience?
