We all hear “conventional wisdom” in real estate—but sometimes, following it blindly can cost you big.

In this solo episode, I share the five controversial real estate takes (or “hills I’m willing to die on”) that I feel strongest about. Some of these might challenge how you started your investing career. But if you’re a new or growing investor, these lessons will help you avoid costly mistakes and build a stronger foundation for your portfolio.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

Why working with a property manager early on can save you thousands in costly mistakes
The surprising reason non-accredited investors shouldn’t invest passively
Why 90% of advice from residential agents about investing is worthless
The case for keeping your first deal simple—even if you don’t make much money on it
Why partnering too early can create bigger headaches than going solo
