3 Real Estate Investing Nightmares You MUST Avoid!

Today on the Heartland Multifamily Show, we’re going to look at three properties you want to avoid.

The Truth About Rent Control They Don’t Want You to Know

Is rent control good or bad? As a property owner, I loudly say, it’s bad! It’s bad because the government shouldn’t say that I, the property owner, have to lower my price.

And by the same token, if I can’t get renters, I have to lower my rent. In this episode, I do a deep dive into why the market should determine the price, not the government, and why any attempt to manipulate the market by the government is doomed to fail.

Outwork Everyone to win in 2025

This episode of the Heartland Multifamily Show explores the question many of you have been asking, will 2025 be a hard year or an easy year compared to 2024? The common wisdom for most people is that it will be harder. But if you’re not most people, it will be easier.

As part of a team, I gave everyone the choice to meet and discuss our plans that evening or the next morning. Everyone agreed to meet an hour before the conference started to discuss our plans. But almost everyone except me was late. When your competition isn’t willing to get up early and outwork you, you have an advantage over them. If you are willing to work hard, 2025 will be easy.
