But in my experience, you could call these boring, you know, maybe working class properties,

but they can be extremely profitable long-term investments.

What these boring properties lack in flash, they make up in cash.

Welcome to the real estate and financial independence podcast.

I'm your host, Chad Carson.

You can also call me coach.

And this is a show all about real estate investing, financial independence, and doing more of what matters.

Today's episode is titled How to Buy Good Real Estate Investments, not Trophy Houses. This is going to be a fun episode

where I'm going to explain some of what makes a good real estate investment good and some

properties that look good on the surface. maybe they're beautiful, maybe they're really

big, some of the things you can be proud of and share with your friends and everybody

be really impressed, but would necessarily be a good real estate investment and won't

make you the money over the long run that helps you achieve financial independence

and maintain financial independence. So we're going to dig into that and I'm going to share some of the stories of my actual

properties and the ones, some that are better than others.

Before we jump into that main topic, though, I want to start by spotlighting some of you,

the podcast listeners who recently left a podcast review or sent me a success story.

By leaving a review, you helped me spread the word to new listeners who might be on the

fence about whether to listen to the podcast or not.

So I really appreciate that.

And so each week I want to thank one of you and send you a copy of my book,

Retire Early with Real Estate.
