Podcasts about rentals

Not everyone gets into real estate investing when conditions are perfect. Some, like our next guest, get in because they have no other choice. The path Brent Beard was on just wasn't cutting it anymore–especially when people were depending on him. If your back's against the wall and you want to build a better life for your family, rental properties could be the answer! Welcome back to the Real Estate Rookie podcast! Brent is a real estate agent in training and investor in the Kansas City area who bought his first duplex in 2025. He did it while working a full-time W-2 job, serving in the National Guard, studying for his real estate licence, and raising his granddaughter. Owning rental properties wasn't always on Brent's radar,  but last July, he picked up a book that changed his whole philosophy. Despite starting in his 40s, Brent has closed on his first deal and is aiming to retire in 10 years! Brent isn't here with a polished success story, but a real one. He dives into the property tax mistake nobody warned him about that nearly doubled his bill overnight, the buy box he had to abandon to find a deal that actually cash flowed, and the one thing he wishes someone had told him before he closed! If you have a full schedule, real responsibilities, and every reason to keep putting real estate on the back burner, Brent's story is proof that the biggest mistake is simply not starting! In This Episode We Cover What finally pushed Brent to take action on his first real estate deal Juggling a W-2 job, military service, and real estate without dropping the ball The rookie-friendly tools and processes Brent used to analyze his first duplex The property tax mistake that nearly doubled Brent's bill (and what to check before you close!) The huge investing advantages you get by becoming a real estate agent And So Much More!

Former Superior mayor Clint Folsom has owned Boulder student rentals for over three decades and led Superior through the Marshall Fire rebuild. He brings a perspective most Colorado investors will never get. Host Chris Lopez sits down with Clint to break down what’s actually moving in the CU Boulder student rental market. They walk through two live listings, a $915K five-bedroom south of campus and a $2.26M seven-bedroom duplex on University Hill, and run the gross rent multiplier math on each. Clint explains why GRM beats cap rate for student rentals and how the 2024 Colorado occupancy law change opened up bigger houses to more tenants legally. The conversation then shifts to the Marshall Fire, which destroyed roughly 1,100 structures in December 2021, including about 400 in Superior. Clint shares what he discovered when he audited his own policies in the aftermath, and why most Colorado landlords have two specific coverage gaps that could ruin them after a major loss. Whether you’re analyzing a Boulder rental, auditing your insurance policies, or thinking about how to get more involved locally, Clint’s experience offers a roadmap most Colorado investors never get. In This Episode We Cover: Why Boulder student rentals get priced per bedroom, not per square foot How the 2024 occupancy law change reshaped Colorado student housing When GRM beats cap rate for analyzing rental deals The two insurance gaps the Marshall Fire exposed in most rental policies Why you need 24 months of lost rent coverage, not 12 How Superior hit an 80% rebuild rate in 4 years Why real estate investors should engage in local government Watch the Youtube Video https://youtu.be/kYYVomtIymQ Timestamps 00:00 – Welcome and Clint Folsom intro01:58- Boulder market overview and Pine Brook Hills03:10 – CU Boulder student rental basics05:27 – 2024 Colorado occupancy law change07:21 – Boulder student housing price per bedroom09:10 – University Hill rent ranges per bedroom11:53 – GRM vs cap rate for student rentals13:32 – GRM walkthrough on two Boulder listings16:57 – Boulder rental licensing requirements18:25 – Buying a CU Boulder rental for your kid20:20- Marshall Fire recap, 1,100 structures lost22:39 – Landlord underinsurance lessons25:35- 24 months of lost rent coverage27:19- Marshall Fire rebuild, 80% in 4 years28:53 – FEMA coordinated debris removal33:42 – Home inspector to mayor of Superior38:49- Investors engaging in local government40:42 – Where to find Clint Folsom Links in Podcast Reach out to Clint Folsom: Folsom and Company Real Estate: https://www.folsomco.comClint Folsom on LinkedIn Clint Folsom on Facebook

Finding a rental can be tough at the best of times. For Calgarians with pets, it's even more challenging. More than half of Calgarians own a pet but only 10% of low-costmarket rentals allow them—forcing some residents to make impossible choices between housing and keeping their pet. The impacts reach beyond individual households. When pet owners are unable to find pet-friendly housing, animals can be surrendered to shelters through no fault of their own, placing additional strain on animal welfare organizations and disrupting the bond between people and their pets.To help close the gap, The City of Calgary and Calgary Humane Society have partnered to advocate for more pet-friendly rentals. In this episode, The City of Calgary's ChiefHousing Officer, Reid Hendry, and Carrie Fritz, Executive Director at Calgary Humane Society, discuss what's driving this housing gap, how pet-friendly housing benefits both landlords and tenants, and what resources are availableto address common concerns. They also explore how expanding pet-friendly housing can help keep families together, reduce preventable pet surrenders, andbuild stronger, more connected communities.Additional Resources: Pet Inclusive HousingLandlordand Tenant Toolkit

A lot of real estate investors think the biggest hurdle to buying more rentals is saving enough money for down payments. Nick Disney has taken a different approach.Instead of waiting years to build up cash, Nick uses HELOCs and private lenders as short-term financing tools to acquire and renovate properties. Once the property is stabilized, he refinances into long-term financing, pays back the HELOC or private lender, and frees up that capital to do it all over again.On this episode, Nick breaks down his strategy for scaling a rental portfolio without constantly saving for the next down payment. He explains how he finds private lenders, the types of people most likely to become funding partners, and how paying off a few rental properties created new opportunities through HELOCs.Nick also walks us through a recent deal, sharing the actual numbers and showing exactly how he used private money to make the purchase work.Plus, we discuss the biggest expense in his rental business and the strategies he uses to keep tenants longer and reduce turnover.If you've ever wondered how investors continue buying properties without piles of cash sitting in the bank, this episode is packed with practical strategies you can put to work right away.https://rentalincomepodcast.com/episode578Thanks To Our Sponsors:MidSouth HomeBuyers – Turnkey Rentals In Memphis, Little Rock, and Dallas.

Benny Delaney shares his journey from growing up in India, building a business and investing in ultra-expensive real estate in Hong Kong, and eventually immigrating to Canada in 2017 for his children's future. After buying duplexes in Oshawa and Peterborough, Benny discovered U.S. real estate investing through Glen Sutherland's coaching and became attracted to the flexibility of DSCR loans in the United States. Unlike Canadian lenders that focused heavily on proving employment income, Benny found that U.S. lenders cared more about the property's cash flow potential. This allowed him to scale into properties in Florida and Detroit despite being semi-retired and no longer operating an active business. The interview also dives deeply into Benny's strategy of remotely managing student rentals in Florida from Toronto. He explains how building a reliable local team — including realtors, plumbers, HVAC contractors, cleaners, and leasing support — made remote investing practical. Benny discusses handling student tenants, lease-ups, payment systems, maintenance requests, and tenant screening while emphasizing that real estate investing is ultimately a business built around problem-solving. The conversation highlights the difference between investing for appreciation versus investing for cash flow, with Benny prioritizing higher-income properties like student rentals and Airbnbs to support his semi-retired lifestyle. The episode offers valuable insight for Canadians looking to invest remotely in U.S. markets while leveraging creative financing and higher cash-flow opportunities unavailable in many Canadian cities.

Show Notes In this episode of Be a Smarter Homeowner, host Beth Dodson sits down with Craig Sheets, founder of Crestville Accounting, to unpack one of the most misunderstood parts of homeownership: taxes. Craig brings nearly 25 years of senior-level accounting experience and helps individuals and business owners not only stay compliant, but also make smarter financial decisions throughout the year. Together, Beth and Craig discuss how homeowners can better understand deductions, tax planning, rental property rules, renovation records, mortgage interest, inherited homes, and the importance of working with a knowledgeable CPA. This conversation covers practical tax considerations for both primary residences and rental properties, including the difference between repairs and capital improvements, how renovations can affect your cost basis, what rental property owners should know about depreciation, and why keeping detailed records can make a major difference when it is time to file taxes or sell a home. Topics covered include: Homeowner tax myths, Schedule A deductions, sales tax deductions, mortgage interest, real estate taxes, rental property deductions, cost segregation, depreciation, repairs versus renovations, capital improvements, tax basis, inherited homes, revocable and irrevocable trusts, energy-efficiency tax credits, and why planning with your CPA matters. Important note: This episode is for educational purposes only. Tax laws and individual situations vary, so homeowners should consult their own CPA, accountant, or financial advisor before making tax decisions.   Episode Summary Your home is often your largest financial asset, but many homeowners do not fully understand how it connects to their tax strategy. In this episode, Beth Dodson talks with CPA Craig Sheets about the deductions, credits, planning opportunities, and recordkeeping habits homeowners should know. Craig explains why tax planning should happen year-round, not just during filing season. He discusses how homeowners may be able to deduct certain taxes, mortgage interest, sales tax on qualifying renovations, and energy-efficient upgrades. He also breaks down the difference between a repair and a renovation, explaining why that distinction matters for tax purposes. For rental property owners, Craig goes deeper into depreciation, cost segregation, active versus passive management, possible travel and business-related deductions, and the importance of understanding how a property is owned. Beth and Craig also explore how renovations can affect a home's tax basis and why detailed project records can help homeowners reduce potential capital gains later. The episode closes with practical advice: keep receipts, track home improvements, document energy-efficient upgrades, communicate with your CPA before major projects, and treat your home like the financial asset it is.   Key Takeaways Homeowners may miss deductions simply because they do not know what to track. Repairs and renovations are treated differently for tax purposes. Rental property ownership comes with additional rules, deductions, and planning opportunities. Cost segregation may help rental property owners accelerate depreciation. Home improvements can increase your tax basis, which may matter when you sell. Mortgage interest can be part of an itemized deduction strategy. Energy-efficient upgrades may qualify for tax credits, which can be more powerful than deductions. Inherited homes and trusts can create tax consequences that should be planned carefully. Good recordkeeping can save homeowners money. The best tax strategy usually begins before the project, purchase, sale, or filing deadline.

Buying rental properties wasn't Jenny Brown's dream at first. It was her husband's. In fact, Jenny got pulled into real estate investing because her husband kept handing her paperwork to complete. But once she got involved, she discovered a passion for building wealth through rental properties. Today, she and her husband own a portfolio of rental homes in solid rental neighborhoods.On this episode, Jenny shares the story of buying her first rentals, renovating them, and renting to students attending a nearby college. She discusses how they financed their early purchases, the lessons learned from managing their first ten properties, and the moment she began to see the long-term potential of real estate investing. Jenny also explains how she eventually made the decision to leave her job and focus full-time on managing their growing portfolio.We also dive into the nuts and bolts of running a rental business. Jenny explains how they handled rehabs themselves in the early days before building a trusted team of contractors, how they manage maintenance requests, and a simple system they've developed that dramatically reduces the time spent showing vacant properties.She also discusses their plans to sell underperforming rentals and trade up into better assets, along with practical advice for investors looking to build a successful rental portfolio of their own.https://rentalincomepodcast.com/episode577Thanks To Our Sponsors:Ridge Lending Group - Making the investment mortgage process simple and stress-free.

Living in poor conditions shouldn't be seen as a rite of passage for university students, according to the boss of MBIE's tenancy investigations team. The team inspected 14 rentals in North Dunedin last month and found several breaches of healthy homes standards. National Manager of MBIE's tenancy and compliance team, Brett Wilson spoke to Lisa Owen.

A new report from Rentals.ca indicates British Columbia is leading Canada in terms of declining asking rental prices. The report says the average asking price for a one-bedroom apartment declined by 5.4 per cent year-over-year in May. Craig Jones, the associate director of Housing Assessment Resource Tools at UBC, joins the show to discuss what these price patterns mean for the overall housing outlook in the province.

You don't need a big, expensive, stressful rental property portfolio to retire on your terms. Today's guest was able to leave her W-2 job in her late 30s, all thanks to a small, smart rental property portfolio. Most people think they need a dozen (or more) doors to reach a level of “freedom” that lets them walk away from their job. Lucy Hinds did it with half that amount. Did we mention she only started investing in 2022? After deciding that jumping out of airplanes for the Army was where Lucy wanted her excitement from, she decided to tackle her debt ASAP. But this former Dave Ramsey disciple quickly became a real estate debt enthusiast, buying three rental properties in three months, all using equity from her personal residence.  From there, Lucy continued to scale until one day she decided she could step away from her job. The best part? She had only a handful of rentals at the time, but they'd cover her living expenses, giving her the freedom to do what she wanted with her days. Discovering her “enough” led to her early retirement, with far fewer rentals than most people think is possible. Think you're still decades away from retirement? Lucy proves that even in this market, a few rentals can go a long way.  In This Episode We Cover How to retire (early) with fewer rental properties than you think  Using your home equity to fund your first (or your first three!) rental properties  Scared of taking on debt for real estate? How Lucy switched from the zero-debt mindset to scaling with rentals  Cash flow even at 7% interest rates? It's still possible, and Lucy is proof! Pay off a rental property vs. your primary residence: why one can “free” you far faster  And So Much More!

Connect with the Investor Mama Tribe Jessie Lang started investing in real estate by “house-hacking” over 10 years ago, and has since grown a substantial rental portfolio that she manages with the help of a small, remote team. In the last 36 months, she’s grown from 11 doors (bought the wrong way with 20% down), to 70 doors and counting. She's laser focused on the BRRRR method, which allows her to put her money to work over and over to create generational wealth. She partners with private lenders to buy real estate with none of her own money, all while providing them double digit returns on their investment! Jessie has created a free mini-course—how to buy 1-3 rentals per month on autopilot (even if you don’t own a property yet, don’t have 20% down, and think rates are too high). When she isn't managing rentals or coaching, she is traveling with her wife Laura, spoiling her 5 (yes 5!) pets, and getting her hands dirty in DIY house projects and gardening. Key Takeaways: Start with $3,000 and a spare bedroom. You don’t need a big down payment to begin. Jessie’s first property was an FHA loan with $3K down. If you already own a home, renting out a room covers your mortgage and plants the seed. Action: Look up FHA loan requirements in your area this week. Find one local real estate meetup and show up. Every contractor, lender, wholesaler, and boots-on-the-ground person Jessie relies on came from networking in person. You don’t need to know anything yet — just go. Action: Search “real estate meetup [your city]” or BiggerPockets forums to find one happening this month. Download a free property management app before you even have a tenant. TenantCloud is free and builds the habits and systems you’ll need from day one. Don’t wait until you’re overwhelmed. Action: Sign up for TenantCloud today so the infrastructure is ready when you need it. Run the BRRRR  (buy, rehab, rent, refiance, repeat) numbers on one deal — even a fake one. Practice underwriting: find a distressed listing on Zillow, estimate rehab costs, and see if it hits the 75% LTV threshold after repair value. You learn by doing the math. Action: Pick one listing this week and walk through Jessie’s formula ($100K purchase + $40K rehab + $10K holding = $150K all-in, needs to appraise at $200K). Hire your “boots on the ground” before you make an offer. If you’re investing outside your market, line up a neutral third party first — someone from a local Facebook group or BiggerPockets subforum who will be your eyes and ears for $50–100 a trip. Action: Post in the BiggerPockets forum for your target market and ask if anyone does property walkthroughs for remote investors.

They also discuss why these incentives are happening now, how Rent To Retirement's builder relationships help investors access opportunities that may not be available on the open market, and why timing matters for anyone looking to close in June.⏱️ Timestamps:00:08 – Emergency episode: June real estate investor deals00:53 – Incentives in Texas and Alabama markets01:17 – Builder incentives up to 15% of the purchase price01:47 – Rent To Retirement's $2,500 June closing credit03:06 – How investors can use builder incentives04:02 – Why 15% incentives are not normal04:28 – Rate buy-downs, cash back, and investor strategy06:09 – Why Katy and San Antonio are strong rental markets07:26 – Why these deals are not typical MLS opportunities08:09 – Cash back vs. lower interest rate strategy10:33 – Comparing today's incentives to past low interest rates12:13 – Scaling faster with cash-back incentives13:14 – Alabama rental property opportunities14:25 – Why Alabama offers diversification for investors15:56 – Tuscaloosa, universities, and tenant demand17:29 – Using cash-back incentives toward the next property19:00 – How Rent To Retirement is compensated19:20 – $2,500 closing cost credit explained20:05 – Incentives are in addition to builder credits21:12 – Updated brochures and how to get details21:57 – Where to view inventory and contact the teamThese opportunities are time-sensitive and may change based on availability, builder updates, and closing timelines.

Many real estate investors avoid C- and D-class neighborhoods due to crime, older housing stock, and management challenges. Mike Bonadies sees opportunity where others see problems.On this episode, Mike explains why he focuses on lower-income neighborhoods and how those properties have allowed him to build and scale a large portfolio. We look at the types of properties he's buying, what he's paying, how much rehab they're typically needing, and the numbers that make these deals work.With a lower barrier to entry and strong cash-flow potential, Mike believes these markets can offer opportunities difficult to find elsewhere.We also get into the realities of owning low-income housing. Mike talks about working with Section 8 and other government assistance programs, dealing with inspections, navigating government red tape, and why these properties are anything but passive investments.He shares some of the biggest challenges he's facing today, including applicants using AI-generated pay stubs and bank statements, as well as the steps he's taking to verify income and avoid costly mistakes. Finally, Mike reveals the key numbers he tracks and the one thing investors can do to increase their chances of success in low-income housing.https://rentalincomepodcast.com/episode576Thanks To Our Sponsors:Rentec Direct - Automate the day-to-day work and make property management easy.

Blake Yarborough started acquiring rentals in 2009 when everyone else was running from the market, and built his way to 100+ properties and $40 million in real estate. In this episode, he breaks down the leveraged financing strategy he used to scale fast, how he structured 15-year notes to protect himself against rate resets, and why he self-manages instead of handing things off to third-party property managers. He also shares a hard lesson about embezzlement that cost him $5 million and what he missed on the balance sheet that let it happen. If you're building a rental portfolio or thinking about getting back into acquisitions, this one is worth your time.   KEY TALKING POINTS: 0:00 - Intro 0:34 - Blake Yarborough's Journey In Real Estate 11:08 - Losing Money & His Faith 13:31 - Financing Rental Properties 17:27 - His Deer Breeding Business 18:40 - The Real Estate He's Doing Now 21:24 - The Market Right Now & Property Managers 26:09 - Protecting Your Business 30:14 - Closing Thoughts 31:10 - Outro   LINKS: Facebook: Blake Yarborough https://www.facebook.com/blake.yarborough   Website: Capital Concepts https://www.4smartmoney.com/   Instagram: David Lecko https://www.instagram.com/dlecko   Website: DealMachine https://www.dealmachine.com/pod   Instagram: Ryan Haywood https://www.instagram.com/heritage_home_investments   Website: Heritage Home Investments https://www.heritagehomeinvestments.com/

Steve Whetzel has tried real estate investing three different times over the last 30 years, and the first two attempts didn't end the way he hoped.On this episode, we look back at each chapter of his investing journey to see what went wrong, what went right, and whether it would have been possible to hold onto the properties instead of selling. Steve shares how each experience shaped the investor he is today.Steve bought his first rental properties back in 1996, long before podcasts, YouTube channels, and online communities made real estate investing easier to learn. As a young entrepreneur, he figured things out on his own and quickly bought two properties. The investments were working, but he was also trying to grow a business and eventually realized he didn't have the time or focus to do both. A few years later, he sold the properties and moved on.About 15 years later, Steve decided to give investing another shot.This time he bought five out-of-state rentals and found what looked like great opportunities. We talk about how he found the deals, and the painful experience of losing $20,000 to a contractor who disappeared with his money. Steve explains how he recovered from that setback, found a better contractor, and got things back on track. But life took another turn when he went through a divorce and suddenly found himself raising five kids as a single dad. With so much on his plate, he made the difficult decision to sell the properties again.Now, Steve is back for a third attempt at investing, and this time things are different.His kids are older, the timing in his life is better, and he's focused on building a portfolio of out-of-state Airbnb properties. We talk about what he's doing differently today, the lessons he learned from his previous failures, and why those earlier experiences may have been exactly what he needed to become a better investor now.https://rentalincomepodcast.com/episode575Thanks To Our Sponsors:Revenued - Get working capital for your rentals quickly with a line of credit.Flock Homes - Retire from real estate investing and landlording (whether it's one problem property or your whole portfolio) through a 721 Exchange. Ridge Lending Group - Making the investment mortgage process simple and stress-free.

Want to retire with rentals so you can buy back your time and travel the world? Despite a successful 35-year engineering career, today's guest was still financially dependent on her nine-to-five—until she pivoted to real estate investing. In just four years, she has bought four rental properties and left her W-2 job for good. When Sandy Lee's 50th birthday arrived, she realized she wasn't quite where she wanted to be in life. At a crossroads in her career and still needing at least another five years at her current job before retirement, Sandy was ready for a drastic change (and a new challenge!). Now, with four short-term rentals and a highly profitable real estate business, Sandy has officially retired and designed her dream lifestyle, where she gets to travel throughout the year while spending only a few hours per week on her real estate portfolio. Whether you're starting in your 20s or 50s, it's never too early or too late to invest in real estate, and Sandy is living proof! In This Episode We Cover How Sandy built a four-property rental portfolio in just four years Making $5,000 in monthly cash flow from ONE rental property How to build a real estate portfolio that supports your ideal lifestyle Scaling a large portfolio versus having 100% paid-off properties What really moves the needle for Airbnb revenue and occupancy When to hire a “revenue manager” for your vacation rental portfolio And So Much More!

Ryan Thompson has gone all in on house hacking and believes it's one of the fastest ways to build a rental portfolio. Ryan loves house hacking because of the favorable financing. Instead of putting 20–25% down like a traditional investment property, he was able to buy properties with as little as 5% down while also getting some of the best interest rates available.Today, Ryan generates over $30,000 a year in profit from just 5 rentals that all started as house hacks.On this episode, Ryan explains how he was able to live for free while doubling the mortgage payment with rental income from roommates and tenants. We talk about why he uses a property manager even though he lives in the properties, and how he sets up chores and systems to keep shared living spaces clean and organized. Ryan also talks honestly about what it was like moving every year for 5 years straight and why, despite how difficult it was, the financial freedom it created made it completely worth it.What makes Ryan's story even more interesting is that he wasn't making a huge income when he got started, proving that building a portfolio doesn't require a high salary if you're willing to sacrifice and think creatively.We also dive into assumable mortgages, which Ryan has become an expert on.Ryan explains how investors can buy properties and take over existing 2%, 3%, or 4% mortgage rates from sellers. We talk about which types of loans are assumable, how to approach sellers that may not even realize this is an option, how much cash you typically need to bring to the deal, and the timeframe to get an assumable loan approved.https://rentalincomepodcast.com/episode574Thanks To Our Sponsors:Flock Homes - Retire from real estate investing and landlording (whether it's one problem property or your whole portfolio) through a 721 Exchange. Ridge Lending Group - Making the investment mortgage process simple and stress-free.

Nick Burke knew he wanted to invest, but in his high-priced New Jersey market, buying a cash-flowing rental property was close to impossible. He needed to find an affordable market, somewhere with population growth, equity upside, and houses below the $100K price point. He did it, but in a city, 99% of investors have completely written off arguably too soon.  Now, Nick owns a rental property portfolio of seven houses, using the “BRRRR” method (buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat), to build an entire rental portfolio with very little money out of pocket. He's done what most investors never thought of—buying his first true rental with a credit card, managing renovations from hundreds of miles away, and going 50/50 with a partner when he didn't have the cash. If any of that sounds too risky for you, Nick proves that if you've got your head on straight, you can make it work with all of these options. Just two years later, Nick's portfolio has made him hundreds of thousands of dollars richer in equity, and he's even gotten paid to buy rentals! All it took was taking the leap and realizing he, too, could build wealth in real estate. This is his exact strategy for scaling so quickly, without a ton of cash to start. In This Episode We Cover How to use the BRRRR method to make tens of thousands in equity immediately  Buying a rental property with a credit card?! The 0% interest move Nick made that paid off The #1 most important person on your out-of-state investing team (you cannot miss this!)

5 paid-off rentals vs. 15 rentals with mortgages. We get this question a lot: Should I pay off my rental properties or use the cash flow to keep scaling? Many investors believe you need a dozen or more rentals to become financially free. So, in today's show, we're going to show you the overlooked math behind having five paid-off rental properties, and whether it's worth it to keep scaling to over a dozen doors. I've modeled out both scenarios (pay off rentals vs. buy more) to see which gets you to financial freedom faster, which leaves you with a bigger net worth, and which pumps out more cash flow so you can do what you want with your time. We're using real, inflation-adjusted numbers: $400K home prices, $250/month cash flow, 30-year loans. These are the types of deals we're buying even in 2026. So which scenario would Dave pick? Dave has a clear answer on the option he thinks is best for most real estate investors, and what to do if you pay off your rental properties but want to scale slowly when the right deal arrives. If you've got some cash burning a hole in your pocket, this is the episode to hear before you make a move.  In This Episode We Cover 5 paid-off rental properties vs. 15 rentals with mortgages: which makes more money? How much faster do you reach financial freedom if you pay off your mortgages early? The multi-million dollar difference between the two scenarios (but is it worth it?) How Dave is combining the two scenarios to “harvest” his cash flow while scaling Proof you don't need a huge portfolio to become a multimillionaire  And So Much More!
