Caleb, thanks for this feedback. We did leave in more swearing than usual because it's such a part of Steve's (not-for-everyone) persona. We also included a language advisory in the intro - perhaps you skipped it - and marked the episode as "Explicit" to give our listeners fair warning. I think in general with these weekend episodes, it is likely we will see more variation in how episodes are received by our audience as we bring on a more diverse range of guests from non-real estate backgrounds. We'll continue to listen to feedback. Again, I appreciate you sharing your thoughts and hope you continue to get value out of the show.

@Jessica Flint Are you listening on the website? The player for those old episodes needs to be updated - we're working on that. However, there is a workaround. Just click the title, which takes you to the individual episode page, then use the Art19 player on that page (see screenshots below). Let me know if you have any questions, and thanks for bringing this to us!

@Portia Quarles!

Hi @Craig Hormes, I think @Steve Rozenberg hit the nail on the head in a recent episode of the Real Estate Rookie podcast. Steve's point was essentially: Section 8 rentals can be an excellent strategy IF this is part of a holistic, well-thought-out business plan. If it's simply something you turn to when you need higher rents or can't get other tenants, then you can get really yourself into trouble. 

@Joseph Asamoah is very successful with this strategy because he has a product with high demand and low supply (high-end, renovated single family houses in prime neighborhoods with 4-5 bedrooms), has put together a very thorough tenant screening process, and has developed deep relationships with key players at the local housing authority. In my opinion the more you can do those 3 things, the higher your chance of success in this area. (I rent to a voucher holder family in my house hack in Washington DC).

Here is the podcast episode I referred to above, which also features Joe: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/rookie-podcast-03coronavirus-crashdos-donts-recession-veterans-joe-asamoah-steve-rozenberg

@Leigh Harris this topic -- buying houses without ever stepping foot in them -- is discussed in detail in today's podcast https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/biggerpockets-podcast-377-chris-arnold

Hi @Paul Durham thank you for raising the question. I produce the BiggerPockets Podcasts. You're right that we try to record podcast episodes well in advance for a number of reasons. Last week, it wasn't possible to pull off a last-minute Real Estate Podcast episode as news was developing so quickly.. nor am I sure it would have been wise, given the fluidity of the situation. Things were quite different as recent as last Wednesday (the last day we could have recorded).

However, this Thursday, we will have a wide-ranging conversation about the economy and its impact on real estate investors. Hope you enjoy it and get value out of it. In fact, all 4 podcasts will have topical episodes this week. The Money Podcast's is here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/biggerpockets-money-podcast-116long-term-investingcovid-19-jim-collins-jlcollinsnh-com In my view, the key for us is to stay agile and provide clearly thought-out content based on data and historical context -- rather than just adding to the noise. Thanks again, and stay safe.
