In this episode, Tait Duryea and Ryan Gibson connect with Zach Lemaster to explore the world of turnkey real estate and build-to-rent properties. They discuss the benefits and challenges of owning physical real estate, the tax advantages of rental properties, and how busy professionals can invest without becoming full-time landlords. Zach shares insights on market trends, the importance of expectation setting, and why new construction rentals might be a better option than traditional rehabs.

He specializes in helping busy professionals acquire cash-flowing rental properties in high-growth markets, leveraging tax advantages and strategic financing.
