Customer Reviews
Excellent Podcast
Yonah always has great guests and shares a wealth of valuable information!
Awesome podcast!
Yonah is a great host!
Evolving Your Why
Excellent podcast! I enjoy how the show is about real estate but is much much more than a typical real estate investing show. It is about the people in real estate and knowing the people in the business brings a greater understanding of real estate investing. I can't recommend the show enough.
