Most hosts don’t realize they’re sitting on dead equity.

In this episode, Mike reveals how he sold a 4-unit for $530K and turned one cash-flowing asset into two.

Increasing his annual income by $20K and doubling his return on equity to 42%.

You’ll learn how to:

• Know when it’s smarter to sell or refinance

• Use a simple formula to spot dead money in your portfolio

• Turn today’s high interest rates into tomorrow’s buying advantage

• Upgrade your investor pitch if you’re a property manager or cohost

This is not theory.

This is how smart investors build wealth when others freeze.

Don’t let rising rates or inflated prices scare you.

Use math, not emotion.
