You may already be a landlord, or you might still be searching for your first rental property. How should you go about finding a winner? What’s the best real estate market to invest in and how do you make the most money while having the least amount of stress? Only experienced landlords know how to answer these questions. They’ve bought dozens of houses, dealt with numerous tenants, and been through trial and error, so you don’t have to. And that’s exactly what this episode is all about.

Ashley Kehr, host of the Real Estate Rookie Podcast, and Craig Curelop, author of The House Hacking Strategy, are here to answer common landlording FAQs. Both Ashley and Craig have had so much interest in their individual endeavors that they’re now hosting the BiggerPockets Bootcamps! Ashley’s will teach you about buying (and managing) your first property the right way, while Craig’s house hacking bootcamp will give you everything you need to buy your first house hack property in just ten weeks!

Along with real estate regulars David Greene and Rob Abasolo, Ashley and Craig will be touching on some hot topics in today’s episodes. Topics like when to give rent credits to tenants, pros and cons of renting by the room, the first steps to take after getting a property under contract, how to show your rental units, and where to find the best real estate markets around.
