7FF 974: The $80,000 Contractor Mistake I'll Never Make Again

About This Episode

What if I told you the #1 reason most “investors” NEVER buy their first property...

Has nothing to do with the market?

It’s not a lack of leads.

Not even a bad contractor (although you’ll hear how I could’ve prevented an $80,000 mistake with mine).
