An honest guide, with the disclosures to match
Two things you should know up front, because they're in the guide too. First, no one can promise you returns, and this guide doesn't. Market data changes, and every number in it is a starting point for your own verification, not a prediction. Second, I maintain a network of agents and property managers across the country, and when I connect you with one, their brokerage typically pays mine a referral fee at no cost to you. The guide is useful whether or not you ever ask for an introduction.
What you get is the perspective of someone who works in real estate and property management technology every day: how rentals actually perform, what they cost to run, and what surprises new owners.
