    73: 3 Ways to Cut Your Landlord Expenses in 2026 | Maximize Rental Property Profits

    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.

    The Messy Middle: What Success Really Looks Like Behind the Scenes- Reinvention Series Part 3

    If you’ve ever looked at someone’s success and assumed they’re gliding through life with confidence and clarity… this episode will free you. In Episode 3 of the Reinvention Series, Erika pulls back the curtain on what success actually looks like behind the scenes — the stretch, the doubt, the quiet fear, and the faith it takes to keep going when life feels heavy. She shares the real story of the season that almost broke her while building her first conference, how she trusted God through uncertainty, and why the messy middle is where your identity shifts the most. You’ll walk away knowing you’re not falling apart — you’re being stretched into the woman you’re becoming. This episode covers: • what the “messy middle” looks and feels like • why fear doesn’t disappear when you become successful • how to reframe your thoughts through answered prayers • why stretching is necessary for elevation • the lie about success that keeps most women stuck • how to keep moving even when things feel uncertain • an invitation into the OILI Mastermind for women ready to live life on their own terms If you’re tired of doing life alone and want more breathing room, options, and clarity — this is your episode. ✨ FREE GIFT:Download the Reinvention Prompt Guide — your first step toward clarity in your next season. https://erikab.kit.com/a24b3bf66d  ✨ Register for my Last Class of the Year for FREE!:Make Work Optional with Real Estate.
