Episode notes
Zach's First Real Estate Purchase
- Zach started with no money but bought two single-family homes using a $20,000 bonus as down payments.
- Those initial doors provided weekend cash flow and future college savings for his child.
Ownership Boosts Tenant Commitment
- Rent-to-own tenants are motivated by ownership, leading them to work harder to catch up on payments.
- This creates more stable tenants and longer-term tenancy than traditional rentals.
Tenant-Handled Repairs Advice
- Allow tenants to handle repairs if capable and recommend trusted contractors for bigger jobs.
- This reduces your management workload and controls repair quality and costs.
