Welcome back to the Wealth Within Reach podcast, Season 3!

I’m sharing the hard lessons I had to learn the expensive way, so that you don’t have to. Whether you’re already a landlord or thinking about becoming one, I want to help you avoid the mistakes that cost time, money, and peace of mind. I walk you through what I wish someone had told me before I got started—from not giving tenants your personal number, to never accepting rent through Cash App, to why having a clear system from day one changes everything. If you’re going to run a rental property, you need to run it like a real business.

I get real about how I learned to prioritize value over price, why documentation is everything, and how building good systems and investing in quality upfront has helped me protect my time, my money, and my peace. If you’re ready to manage your properties like a pro and build wealth with intention, this one is for you.
