In Episode 72 of the Real Life Planning Podcast, Cynthia Meyer, CFA®, CFP®, ChFC®, and Vekevia Tillman-Jones, CFP®, MBA, discuss one of the biggest questions for real estate investors: Is rental real estate really a good return on your time? With their signature banter and deep experience, they unpack how real estate can create time freedom—and what it really takes to get there.
