BiggerPockets Podcast 493: How COVID Changed Real Estate Forever (+How it Didn’t!) with Ken McElroy

Ken McElroy has been in the real estate investing game for decades, starting as a property manager in college, becoming a landlord with a sizable portfolio, then meeting Robert Kiyosaki and working on books, education, and systems with some of the biggest names in real estate. Ken has been through multiple market cycles, dozens of policy changes from the government, and made lots of money on many different types of deals. He has a unique experience that gives him a leg up on much of the new competition.

You’ll hear Ken’s thoughts on the “affordability crisis” we may be facing in the coming years, how short-term rentals are changing the landscape of month-to-month rentals, and how an inexperienced investor can get started with “good debt”. Make no mistake, the lessons Ken talks through in this episode took decades to learn, but you can get them all in just over an hour!
