  • Sonia, Madison, WI “I was channel surfing while driving through Milwaukee the other day and caught a bit of your show. Good information. I’ve love those house flipping TV shows! How would a person go about getting into this business?”
  • Sandra, Long Beach, CA “I’m thinking about buying a couple of rental houses up in the Valley but at over 2 hours of driving each way, I don’t want to have to be running up there every time someone needs a light bulb changed. What options do I have?”
  • Kwame, Cincinatti, OH, “Do I take a great deal on an old house with a big rehab or an ok deal on a 6 year old house with a light rehab. I listen to you show - I can’t do both.”
  • Samuel, Pittsburgh, PA, “Do you think the Steelers have a realistic shot at the Super Bowl this year? Just kidding. My real question is after Saturday do you think Notre Dame should still be a top ten team? Still kidding. Seriously, what are the best 2 or 3 ways to look for my next rental? I have a good job, just trying to buy 1 rental every year. I have 2 already. I bought the first one before I heard of you and bought the second one after listening to your show for awhile. The second one is doing much better. I like managing myself and plan to do that until I get to 8 or 10.”
  • Risa, Atlanta, GA and San Juan, PR. “Are the principles for investing on the mainland the same as in Puerto Rico? I’m thinking about buying a vacation rental back home.”
