Throughout my career, I often receive questions from new investors about what to expect when investing in rental properties. It's understandable to be unsure about the potential returns and to set realistic goals, especially when starting out with no prior experience. 

In today's episode, I want to address these questions by taking a different approach. Instead of an interview, I will dive into a recent deal we closed and present it as a case study. I’ll be going over all the details of the deal, from finding the property to reflecting on lessons learned, to provide you with tangible examples and demonstrate what is possible in the realm of real estate investing. 

Whether you are a new investor or an experienced investor seeking inspiration for your next project, this episode is for you. Tune in!
