Rental Income Podcast With Dan Lane

Guido had a ton of problems in his early investing days. His basement flooded, he had evictions, and rumored drug dealers in one of his rentals. One day he got frustrated and decided to sell his property.

His property went under contract, and Guido immediately regretted his decision to sell. Luckily, the contract ended up falling through, and Guido went to work turning the property around.

A few years later the property appreciated and Guido was able to do a cash-out refi for $750,000.

On this episode, we talk about how he was able to take that money and build a rental portfolio that generates six figures in cash flow every year.
