Re-sharing my guest appearance on Matt Theriault’s Epic Real Estate Podcast, where we dive into how my wife and I built a portfolio of 8 long-distance rentals—all while raising 3 kids under 3 and holding down full-time jobs. We cover how one house gave us four streams of value, our best-performing deals (with 40% above-market rent), and the lessons learned from a long-distance property gone wrong. Still one of my favorite interviews to date.
