Why Doing It Yourself Can Mean Less Money
Is Your Rental Property Really Passive?
Buying and managing rental properties yourself often isn't the smartest way for a successful business owner to invest in real estate anymore. In this solo episode of Own The Exit, Aaron Leatherdale walks through four reasons business owners should consider group or syndicated investments instead: the rising cost of entry, the do-it-yourself math, the mental cost, and the time cost of running rentals yourself.
