    EP 204 - Should We Sell All Our Rental Properties?

    The problem: Soaring property taxes and insurance rates are diminishing the profitability of real estate investments. The solution? Hosts Mike and Dan discuss a radical approach: selling all their rental properties during the current selling season to capitalize on market conditions.

    This episode delves into the dilemma real estate investors face when considering how to optimize returns while continuing to scale their business. In the current market, where many investors are experiencing a lack of liquidity and escalating operational costs, the best solution could be to sell off underperforming rental properties and redirect capital into more profitable ventures. Mike and Dan outline the strategy behind this approach, expanding on their current cash flow problems and the high cost of property management.

    Tune in as we consider the best strategies to leverage a real estate portfolio and generate massive income!

Love this show! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

These dudes are hilarious, down to earth, insightful & real. Love this show. Its the real deal.

MarkL Invests ,

Only “real” podcast out there for wholesaling and real estate investing

I’ve listened to so many podcasts for wholesaling and getting started in real estate investing. These guys are legit about trying to provide incredible info without trying to always sell you on something.

This has a real podcast with real thoughts and advice on how to get started and scale.

Full transparency, I have wanted to take the next step with these guys but am likely in the same boat with many out there. I have a great W-2 with strong income and have been trying to make that switch. These guys gave been the main voice of reason that makes me feel it is actually possible…starting with a side hustle and then progressing.

Mike and Dan, keep doing what you’re doing! You are influencing more prime than you realize!
