Being a landlord isn't always about leases, rent checks, and property management—it's about people. In this deeply personal episode of the Rent Perfect Podcast, host David Pickron and co-host Scot Aubrey discuss one of the hardest situations David has ever faced in over 30 years of landlording: evicting an elderly tenant who lost her home, her money, and possibly her ability to live independently.What do you do when your role as an investor collides with your heart as a human being? How do you balance compassion with protecting your property? When does helping cross into becoming a caretaker? This episode dives into the moral dilemmas landlords rarely talk about—from navigating Adult Protective Services to managing family estrangements, unpaid rent, and the crushing weight of being labeled “the villain” when tough decisions must be made.Whether you're a new landlord, a seasoned investor, or someone simply curious about the human side of property management, this story will challenge how you think about responsibility, compassion, and business. Share your thoughts in the comments—what would YOU have done?
Think you need a massive portfolio to reach financial freedom? Think again.

Simon explores the concept of turning "lead into gold" within property investment, a metaphor for acquiring a seemingly problematic or underperforming property and transforming it into a highly profitable asset. The "lead" is often a property being sold by a retiring or struggling landlord who sees it as a burden, possibly due to low rents, maintenance issues, or a lack of creative strategy… KEY TAKEAWAYS Unlike investing in physical gold, which does not provide income, property investment offers both income and capital growth over the long term, and allows for the use of borrowed money (leverage). The phrase "turning lead into gold" refers to acquiring a property that is a problem for the existing landlord (the "lead") and using a fresh, creative strategy Many retiring or struggling landlords are not maximising their property's potential—often by keeping rents too low, neglecting maintenance, or only using a single, restrictive strategy The opportunity for new investors is to approach the property with a fresh pair of eyes, recognising ways to improve the standards, change the tenant type, or implement development strategies BEST MOMENTS "The big problem with gold is that you can hold it but it doesn't actually give you any income" "They're probably not maximising that property, not making the most out of it. Probably the rents are not as high as they could be... because if you've got a good tenant in the property, you're inclined to keep that tenant there." "They might have been investing for 20 years, but they might have just had one strategy and one way of using that property... That doesn't mean they know more than you."

Matteo Turi is a finance leader, investor, and board advisor who has spent nearly two decades working with businesses at pivotal moments of growth. A former CFO across biotech, SaaS, and renewable energy, he now brings the perspective of an M&A investor, currently overseeing $480M in acquisitions. Having sat on both sides of the table — scaling ventures as an operator and evaluating deals as a buyer — Matteo helps founders understand what makes a business truly attractive to investors. Watch video - https://youtu.be/YLg51IeHLvI In 2017, he created the Global Growth Blueprint to address a gap in entrepreneurial education: wealth creation. While much financial training focuses on managing capital, Matteo emphasizes building it — through monetizing intellectual property, succession and leadership planning, and global expansion. This approach has since evolved into The High Valuation Triangle, a model he applies to the five stages of business: startup, scale-up, stagnation, crisis, and exit. He shares these insights through The Exponential Blueprint newsletter, followed by over 22,000 founders, investors, and executives. In September 2025, he will launch its premium counterpart, The High Valuation Code, alongside his forthcoming book, Fail. Pivot. Scale.: Your High Valuation Code Revealed. Drawing on 21 case studies from household names like Amazon, Netflix, Tesla, and Airbnb, the book shows how the most iconic companies turned failure into fuel, pivots into turning points, and scaling into unstoppable momentum. With lessons on recognizing the right kind of failure, pivoting without losing investors, and pulling the levers that accelerate valuation, Matteo equips entrepreneurs with a practical playbook for breaking through growth barriers.
