Imagine being truly hands-off while your property management company handles the day-to-day tasks while you sit back and collect checks. Imagine easily earning hundreds of thousands of dollars in equity just because you raised the rent by even the slightest. Let's face it, we all want to go big, we're just not sure how to. Today's episode will clear all of that up!
