inspiring interviews with today's top landlords this is the rental income podcast and now dan lane when i first

got the idea that i was going to buy rental properties literally every single person that i knew thought it was a

horrible idea that i would lose money and it would be a huge headache. But it turned out to be one of the greatest

profiting after expenses is a little bit over 13K. I took a 130,000 down payment and turned it

into a $4.5 million portfolio. It's a good thing David didn't listen to those naysayers.

He would have missed out on building a lot of wealth. Well, on the podcast today, we're going to figure out how he did this, how he went from being
