Most investors don’t have a money problem. They have a confusion problem.APPLY TO WORK WITH ME: Book a free strategy call and we’ll map it out together:👉 https://www.passivelyrichwithrentals.com/scheduling________________________In this episode, we're talking about why the 1% rule is dead — and what to look for in a rental property instead.Most people use the 1% rule as their go-to filter for evaluating deals. If a property doesn't hit it, they pass. The problem? That one outdated metric is quietly keeping good investors on the sidelines while great deals go to someone else.That's where they get stuck.In this episode, I break down why the 1% rule made sense historically but no longer holds up in today's market, what's actually happening in Midwest markets like Indianapolis, and the mental model I use to evaluate deals in 2026 — so you can stop chasing a ratio and start building real wealth.We'll go through why appreciation has broken the 1% rule in quality markets, what you're actually buying when you chase it into C-class neighborhoods, and what cash-on-cash return really looks like on a current deal — without managing tenants or fielding maintenance calls yourself.If you've been passing on properties because they don't hit 1%, this episode will completely change how you evaluate deals.What you'll learn:What the 1% rule is and why it worked historicallyWhy Midwest appreciation has made it nearly impossible to hit in B-class neighborhoodsThe hidden risks of chasing 1% into C-class areasThe portfolio pyramid mental model for building long-term wealthWhat I actually look at instead — and the real numbers on a current Indianapolis dealGo to https://www.passivelyrichwithrentals.com/scheduling and book a strategy call with me- It is 30 minutes, it's free, and together we will figure out whether the academy is the right next step for you or whether you are already ready to jump into the deal bank.
