You may already be a landlord, or you might still be searching for your first rental property. How should you go about finding a winner? What’s the best real estate market to invest in and how do you make the most money while having the least amount of stress? Only experienced landlords know how to answer these questions. They’ve bought dozens of houses, dealt with numerous tenants, and been through trial and error, so you don’t have to. And that’s exactly what this episode is all about. Ashley Kehr, host of the Real Estate Rookie Podcast, and Craig Curelop, author of The House Hacking Strategy, are here to answer common landlording FAQs.
