If you could create from scratch the perfect low-maintenance rental property, what would it look like?

0:04.7

That's the question we're going to tackle in today's edition of the Ask Coach podcast.

0:08.3

And to help me answer that question, I brought on none other than Matt, the lumberjack landlord

0:12.2

who owns and self-manages 137 rental units.

And we're getting started right now. Welcome to the podcast Real Estate Investing with Coach Carson. I'm your

0:29.7

host Chad Carson. You can also call me Coach Carson. This is a show to help you get out of the

1:33.8

right? So we have a model where we have 137 units. We want something that's repeatable. And so

1:38.7

if we were crafting something from scratch, it's largely what we've already done in our existing units. So we do a lot of go

1:46.6

to the studs. And we do buildings that are as old as 160 years old. So there's a lot of challenges
