How to Use “Asset Management” to Build Wealth (Even with a Small Portfolio!) w/Ashley Wilson

You DON’T need to scale your real estate portfolio to start building wealth. Whether you own a single rental property or one hundred doors, the size of your portfolio isn’t as crucial as your ability to manage it. Today’s guest is bringing you a masterclass on a fundamental skill that new investors often overlook—one that will help you get the most out of your portfolio and maximize your profits!

Welcome back to the Real Estate Rookie podcast! Ashley “BadAsh” Wilson is a big-time investor and long-time friend of the show who has perfected the art of asset management, having managed over 1,500 units to date! In this episode, she’s going to show you why this skill matters, how it differs from property management, and how to use it to gain a competitive advantage in your investing journey—even if you don’t have a large portfolio or have only just landed your first deal!

New investors must wear many hats, but Ashley shares three things ALL rookies can do to better manage their portfolios without outsourcing.
