This week’s episode is a continuation of my series that coincides with my upcoming book and name of the podcast, The Insider’s Edge to Real Estate Investing. In this show, the tenth of the 12-part series, I relate what differentiates value-add properties from others and how to manage changes to the property. I share hard-learned tips on overseeing construction projects (think “The squeaky wheel gets the oil!”) and keep costs under control. My writing partner Rachel Hartman asks me questions as I explain how to mesh the joy of creating a new design with delivering what the market wants. In addition to helping me with the book, Rachel pens content for Fortune 500 companies and is a regular contributor for U.S. News & World Report (connect with her at LinkedIn).
