EPISODE 472: If you’ve ever found yourself stuck with a single-family property that simply doesn’t seem profitable, then this episode is for you!

In it, we’re sitting down with the brilliant Deena Laugen, a real estate investor who, since 2015, has been turning neglected properties into thriving long-term rentals.
