About this episode
Today, I am sitting down with a real client of mine, Aedan. Not a case study. Not a guru. A regular guy from Austin who bought a rental in another state, and he is walking us through the real numbers, what went right, what went wrong, and what the inspection caught. We're going to talk about what he's actually cash flowing today, and why he's already getting ready to buy his next property. So if you've been sitting on the sidelines wondering if these numbers actually work in real life, this episode is for you. If this conversation has you thinking about your own first property, here is where to start. Watch the Free Training: The Lazy Investor Method You've done the research. So why haven't you bought yet?

See you on the next one. Melissa----------------------Most people don't stall because they can't read a mortgage calculator. They stall because nobody will tell them which market, which team, and which house. If that's you, the next step is simple: In about 40 minutes I walk you through the exact People, Property, and Process system I use to buy out of state without becoming a landlord, including a real property projecting a 17% return that I would not buy and why. Register, and I'll also send you my "Deal or No Deal" Calculator so you can screen a property in about 30 seconds. Watch it on demand; no live call to wait for.
