I wasn't surprised when I stumbled upon an article in my news feed this morning titled "Realtors 'Running out of Money'."

Every week, I write a blog about my experiences as a long-term SFR investor and property manager who has has been fortunate enough to invest in many types of real estate in many different markets and many different market cycles.

Would love to connect - we've published a couple of articles recently on this exact topic - helping real estate agents get comfortable with investor topics /etc, hopefully they will help and I would also love your feedback
