| 0:10.7 | Welcome to Get Rich Education with Keith Weinhold, giving you information and ideas on the investment that has turned more ordinary people into millionaires and billionaires |

| 0:28.2 | possible. Now, here's your host, investor, entrepreneur, business owner and educator, Keith |
| 0:36.2 | Weinhold. |
| 0:45.6 | Welcome to Get Rich Education, Episode 65. I'm your host, Keith Weinhold, and I'm back to help you think about investing in ways you've never thought of before and improve your |
| 0:50.8 | wealth. Thanks for being here. I appreciate you. Four episodes ago, I did an entire |
| 0:56.7 | show on how your stock market returns are zero. To get a real return, you often need to |

| 2:03.0 | All right? Say you can hear that loud noise or whatever through the walls, okay? One unit's bad |
| 2:08.6 | dog alienates every unit in the building potentially, okay? Well, with single family homes, |
| 2:15.2 | you don't have that problem. One loud tenant, I mean, they might not even be noticed by others because the residents are spaced far apart. Okay, one problem single-family home tenant, they're probably just not going to alienate any of your other renters, okay? Plus, the single-family home that is next to your single-family rental, that's probably not even owned by you. So, yeah, plus the single family home that is next to your single family rental, |
