In this episode of the Investing RN Podcast, Josh and Colin take you inside the messy, chaotic, and crucial early stages of building a real estate portfolio.

Starting with just 11 crummy multi-family units, they learned the hard way that good management beats good deals — and that lesson helped them scale to nearly 250 doors.

They share everything they wish they knew earlier about managing small properties, raising rents without losing tenants, preparing for $8K surprise repairs, and why every “bad” deal is actually a training ground for success.

If you’re serious about real estate investing, this is the real talk nobody else is giving you.

🔑 Main Topics Covered:

🏚️ Why crummy multi-family units are the best first investments

🛠️ How learning property management early unlocks future scaling

📈 Why building systems (like Buildium) matters BEFORE you grow

💸 How to raise rents ethically — and survive the backlash

🚿 Planning for emergency costs: wells, pipes, disasters and more
