inspiring interviews with today's top landlords this is the rental income podcast and now

dan lay i think today we may have one of the most important episodes out of all the shows we've done

here on the rental income podcast my guest today has figured out a system to get his properties paid off really quickly using the cash flow that his rentals generate.

I really think that what he's doing is really genius, and I want to figure out exactly how it works, because leverage is awesome.

I think it's powerful, and I think it's a great way to build your portfolio and really

the only way to do it unless you have a ton of cash laying around.

But leverage is risky and if you're not careful and if you run into some bad luck, leverage

can really crush you.

So he wants to take that risk out of his portfolio as quickly as possible.

So let's take a real quick break. We'll come back in 30 seconds and we'll meet Andrew Holmes from

Chicago and figure out what he's doing. It can be a real challenge to stay organized and keep

track of all your rental income and expenses for tax time. Most people end up with a pile of receipts that you

need to sort through and make sense of. I want to let you know about an easier way. It's a software

that I use called Rental Hero. It was built specifically for rental property owners. They have a

really easy to use web portal as well as an app where you can

easily input all your income and expenses. You can take pictures of receipts and you're done with

the paper receipts for good. They have a free 30-day trial. You can try it out. No credit card

required. If you don't like it, there's nothing to cancel.

Just go to rental trial.com. That's rental trial, t-r-I-A-L.com. Andrew, welcome to the podcast.

Why don't we start with you telling us a little bit about yourself and how you got started in real estate?

So basically I got in real estate when I was about 20 years old in college.

Some of you guys got Pell Grants and that kind of stuff.
