417: Laptop Landlords

You want to increase your expenses. I reiterate why. All five ways that real estate pays are rarely surging at the same time. In the past year, appreciation has slowed, cash flow rose, principal paydown slowed, tax benefits are roughly the same, and inflation-profiting rose. How do you become a "laptop landlord" and know that you're buying a good property? I share my favorite resources for real estate due diligence (laptop landlording). They're all in the "Resources Mentioned" below. One mistake people make is that they tend to overgeneralize. They paint an entire city one color, saying something like: "I read that Memphis has high crime." Well, where within Memphis? You can contract with an out-of-state stranger to check out a property for you at WeGoLook.com Aundrea Newbern, COO of GRE, MBA, NAR member (the woman with all the letters behind her name) joins me. She discusses her top real estate successes and failures. We discuss floods, old cast iron pipes, partnerships, single-family vs. multifamily, LTRs vs. STRs, and the opportunity cost of waiting to buy property.  At times, if third-party inspectors see an issue, they refer you to specialists like foundation or mechanical inspectors.
