If you're stepping into 2026 determined to improve your cash flow, protect your rentals, and scale smarter, this episode is for you. We're kicking off the year by talking about the real opportunities available for landlords in 2026 — and the roadblocks that keep so many people stuck. Before you make another move, you need clarity on what's holding your portfolio back and how to break through it this year. Inside this episode, I'm sharing three simple but powerful ways to cut your expenses as a landlord — strategies most investors overlook, even though they can save hundreds (and sometimes thousands) each year: • How smart thermostats and routine HVAC servicing prevent expensive repairs • Why an annual insurance review is non-negotiable — and how raising your deductible can reduce premiums • How disciplined landlords can manage property taxes through a high-yield savings account • why hiring a real-estate-friendly CPA is one of the most profitable decisions you can make in 2026 These changes aren't flashy — but they are transformative. This is how you protect your cash flow, strengthen your rentals, and scale with confidence this year.

Freedom does not come from one big win. It comes from knowing your bills are paid whether you show up or not. Brian Tran learned that lesson early. Raised in an immigrant family that came to this country with nothing, he watched his parents work nonstop just to survive. Hard work was never the issue. Stability was. That experience shaped how Brian thought about money, risk, and what real security actually means. Instead of chasing fast wins, Brian focused on building cash flowing rental properties first. Not to get rich overnight, but to create breathing room. Monthly income that showed up consistently became the foundation that allowed him to take bigger swings later without putting his family or future at risk. In this episode, Brian breaks down how rental properties became the engine behind everything he built. From flipping homes to scaling multiple businesses, those steady checks gave him confidence, leverage, and optionality most people never experience. When things worked, he scaled. When things did not, his life did not collapse. We also unpack how he invested out of state from high cost markets, why cash flow matters more than hype, and how stable income completely changes how you approach risk, growth, and opportunity. This episode is not about shortcuts. It is about building a base so strong that you can bet on yourself without fear. If you want wealth that supports your life instead of controlling it, this conversation will change how you think about money and real estate. Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES
This week, we are having an honest and heartfelt conversation about the sacrifices that come with building a life through real estate investing. We reflect on our individual financial journeys and the lifestyle changes we made early on—living below our means, rethinking spending habits, and strengthening our personal financial foundations before taking on larger investments. We share what it looked like during our DIY era, the risks we embraced as entrepreneurs, and the lessons we learned by building something from the ground up. While those seasons required hard choices, they also clarified our values and helped us align our lives with what truly mattered.We also talk about the rewards that come from those sacrifices and how intentional living has allowed us to create both financial freedom and personal fulfillment. We discuss the motivation that comes from milestones like receiving a first rent payment, the importance of community and surrounding ourselves with like-minded women, and why sacrifice doesn't have to mean a joyless life. Travel, self-care, and finding joy in small moments remain priorities for us, even as we continue to grow. Ultimately, this episode is a reminder that it's okay to quit, pivot, and try again—and that with patience, alignment, and support, real estate investing can lead to a life that feels purposeful, balanced, and deeply rewarding.

Real Estate Investor Dad Podcast ( Investing / Investment in Canada )
Real Estate Investing Morning Show ( REI Investment in Canada )
In this episode of the Smart Real Estate Coach Podcast, I'm finally pulling back the curtain on how we insure our own portfolio. For about 12 years, my family and I have insured all of our non-owner-occupied, investment properties through National Real Estate Insurance Group (NREIG), whether it's buy-and-hold rentals, multifamily, or creative subject-to deals. I'm joined by Seth Markum, Executive VP of Sales at NREIG, with 20+ years in property and casualty insurance and a background in building one of the first national online commercial P&C agencies. We break down landlord insurance vs. homeowners insurance, why rental properties are treated as commercial exposure, and how NREIG structures real estate investor insurance across single-family, multifamily, short-term rentals, mobile homes, land, and creative strategies even if you're using multiple LLCs in multiple states. Seth also walks you through their monthly reporting program, how one flexible policy can follow a property from occupied to vacant to renovation without gaps in coverage, and how they handle subject-to insurance the right way. If you've ever wondered how to properly insure your rental properties and real estate investments, this episode will show you exactly what to ask for and how to get a proposal from NREIG. Key Talking Points of the Episode: 00:00 Introduction 01:11 Who is Seth Markum? 03:19 Landlord vs. homeowner policies (and why homeowners "never works") 04:18 One company vs. multiple niches: why customization matters 05:08 No one-size-fits-all: mix forms, deductibles & locations 06:21 What makes NREIG different from other insurance companies 08:19 Why you don't want "agent Bob on the corner" for creative deals 09:01 Making insurance simple for real estate investors 10:02 Dealing with vacancies and fix and flips with NREIG 11:21 How to get a proposal from NREIG 13:10 The importance of understanding the kind of insurance you have Quotables "If you're not getting a customized policy… that may not be the scenario that you want to entertain." "All phases of occupancy are contemplated on our single policy form." "If you just want something that's going to be all encompassing, no matter what your strategy is, this is going to be the best solution for you."

How does a 9th-grade dropout end up retiring early in his 40s with over 50 rental properties that generate the highest possible cash flow? And we're not talking about big properties—no apartment buildings or commercial real estate. This investor built the perfect rental property portfolio from duplexes and triplexes—small multifamily properties that any new investor can buy. Instead of taking his energy and buying larger properties, he reinvested in the ones he had, which made him even more money, allowing him to scale faster. Matt (the Lumberjack Landlord) and his wife have self-managed over 100 rental units, meaning all that cash flow goes to them. Using his “acquire, stabilize, optimize” formula, Matt's rentals make hundreds more in cash flow per unit than other properties. This has allowed him to retire in his 40s, all while supporting his family of six. Today, he's showing you how you can make the most from your rental properties, too. Simple utility changes, smart renovations for higher rents, cheap (and efficient) upgrades, and more can put hundreds of dollars back in your pocket every month. Plus, he shares how to keep your best tenants, even during tough economic times. If Matt could do it all while working 60+ hour weeks, why can't you? In This Episode We Cover How to make the most cash flow possible by self-managing your rentals Bigger isn't better: Why Matt exclusively buys small multifamily properties The “formula” for the rental portfolio that can retire you in your 40s How to afford your first rental property even if you're low on cash Why every investor should talk to local banks first about financing their rentals Easy ways to keep your best tenants even when the economy gets shaky Would you live in a jail? Why Matt's tenants pay to get put behind bars And So Much More!

Mike Baum owns just one rental property, but this one property alone has changed his life. It's allowed him to become such an investing expert that he's constantly being asked for his opinion on the BiggerPockets forums, and he provides some of the most well-thought-out investing advice on the internet. So why does he have just one rental property, and why doesn't he grow using his expertise? The answer isn't that obvious. You wouldn't know it, but Mike is permanently disabled. After overworking so hard that he ended up losing his vision, he was placed on disability for the rest of his working career. This high achiever was forced to slow down and find something else that could replace his day job. Shortly after his diagnosis, he found BiggerPockets and turned a family vacation home into a short-term rental. Now, he's got systems and processes that help him self-manage with very few headaches, and he will probably keep this property as his one and only rental for life. Why didn't he “FOMO” in when everyone was gobbling up real estate in 2020? Why didn't he grow his portfolio to become the next tycoon? Mike has some clear answers for why he did what he did, and after listening to him, you might change what you want, too. In This Episode We Cover: Why you DON'T need a large real estate portfolio to find financial success when investing Why Mike tells beginner investors that they should NOT buy a short-term rental property The systems and processes Mike made to automate his vacation rental self-management (so he works less!) One thing you should do NOW before you start investing in real estate (it's free!) The real result of “FOMO” investing and how to stop shiny object syndrome from blowing you off course And So Much More!

In this episode, we open up about the creative strategies we've discovered as female real estate investors to secure capital when traditional funding feels out of reach. We share our experiences with tapping into equity, refinancing, and leveraging our networks, along with creative financing options like seller financing and partnerships. Throughout our journey, we've learned the importance of community, due diligence, and strategic planning.We've found that accessing our own equity through refinancing or HELOCs and building strong networks has been key to uncovering creative financing options. Understanding return on equity (ROE) has helped us evaluate property performance, and partnerships have provided us with capital, though they require careful due diligence.Raising private money and exploring creative financing methods like seller financing have been game-changers for us, bridging funding gaps when needed. We've realized that community support is invaluable for sharing resources and advice, and regularly reviewing our portfolio's equity is crucial for strategic planning. These approaches have empowered us to make informed decisions and grow our investments with confidence.

In this episode of the Smart Wealth & Retirement Podcast, financial advisors and retirement planners Jim Martin & Casey Bibb of Martin Wealth Solutions explore whether owning rental properties is a smart move during retirement. They discuss the pros — such as steady income, appreciation, and diversification — along with the cons that retirees often overlook, including taxes, maintenance headaches, liquidity issues, and tenant risk. Jim and Casey share real-life stories from clients who've both succeeded and struggled with investment properties, and they examine alternatives like REITs and other passive income options that offer exposure to real estate without the stress of being a landlord.

Welcome back to the Real Estate Rookie podcast! Ashlee had always wanted to reach financial freedom, but it wasn't until she discovered real estate that she saw a clear roadmap for achieving it.

This is how to make the most money possible from your rental properties without buying another unit. We got into real estate investing to build wealth, not have the biggest portfolio possible. Financial freedom isn't so freeing when you have a hundred rental units and hundreds of tenants calling. So, can you make more money with fewer rental units? Yes, and today, we're giving you five ways to do it. Each of these tips will help you increase your cash flow without having to put a down payment on another property. You can raise the value of each rental unit (growing your net worth) and boost rents by hundreds of dollars a month (more cash flow, same property). We're discussing the amenities that renters will pay more for, the “convenience” factors you can charge for, and the strategies that generate more revenue than long-term rentals. You don't need a huge real estate portfolio to achieve financial freedom, but you do need an efficient one. Follow any of these five tips, and you could make more with less, reaching your ultimate cash flow goal faster. In This Episode We Cover How to increase the “perceived” value of your rental property with inexpensive upgrades The amenities that renters will gladly pay more for (and aren't difficult to add) The “capacity” renovations Henry uses to increase his cash flow by thousands per year When to switch from a long-term rental to a higher-revenue short or medium-term rental The “convenience” amenities that take spare space and turn it into extra income And So Much More!

This investor turned a $25,000 rental property (yes, you read that right) into a real estate portfolio producing $5,000/month in actual cash flow. He had no experience, lived in a small town many would write off, and was working 60 hours a week. But small towns mean less competition and lower prices, and Dustin Cardenas was ready to take advantage. Seven years later, he's financially free thanks to his small rental portfolio! Dustin's small town of 30,000 people is located in one of the most affordable parts of the country. Houses routinely sell for $30,000 to $50,000, a down payment for many investors across the US. He's what you'd call an “everyman”—he's worked in pest control, as a car salesman, and in a juvenile detention facility. In other words, he had no silver spoon. When a local investor in town told him, “You can do this,” he took the chance. Now, seven years later, he's got 20 rental units, left his full-time position at work, and is making a life-changing amount of rental income. These affordable, cash-flowing towns exist throughout the US, and like Dustin, you could use them to reach financial freedom! In This Episode We Cover The uber-affordable small Midwest towns where rentals are less than $50,000 The perfect starter real estate investment Dustin used to scale fast Why you must ask your bank for a line of credit if you're ready to invest more Dustin's tips to save money on your next rental renovation (huge savings!) Better than Airbnb? Why Dustin ditched his short-term rental and makes phenomenal cash flow with this strategy And So Much More!
