Matthew was a guest on the podcast 3 years ago, on episode 280.

At that time, Matthew had been investing in rentals for a year, and had 4 properties.

On this episode, Matthew shares how he has grown his portfolio to 8 rentals that net him $10,000 a month and how he has grown his net worth by over $1 million.

Matthew had a plan to pay off his mortgages on the last episode, we see if that is still his plan today.

We also talk about how Matthew had to shift to buying in another area because real estate prices got too expensive.

A few years ago Blake decided he wanted to build a big rental portfolio, and started aggressively buying rentals. Within a few years, he got to 300 doors.

Once he hit his goal, he found that having so many rentals was way too stressful, and decided to sell off half of his rental portfolio.

On this episode, Blake shares how he sold off half of his portfolio and used the proceeds to pay off the other half.

We talk about how having a smaller paid-off portfolio is so much better and how it's profitable every month no matter what because he has no debt.

Blake did this at a very high level, but this strategy works with even a few rentals.

 Dan & Mike share why it made more sense for them to partner up to buy this property than to buy it individually.

We talk about how they found the property, how they financed it, and how they dealt with delays in getting the property fixed up.

They also share their experience of not taking a security deposit from their tenants. Instead, they had their tenants buy them an insurance policy from TheGuarantors. The policy protects their rental income from tenant non-payment and property damage.

They also share the numbers for the property.
