Inspiring interviews with today's top landlords. This is the rental income podcast. And now, Dan Lane.

Before the internet, I think it was really difficult to be an out-of-town real estate investor.

But today, the world's gotten a lot smaller, and I think it makes a lot of sense to live where you want to live and to invest

where the numbers make sense. And that's exactly what my guest today is doing. She lives in Seattle,

My chemistry teacher would buy these little houses in the summer, fix them up, and then he'd use them as rentals.

And I remember even as a teenager thinking that was just the coolest thing because I've always been an entrepreneur so

I had no idea I would get into real estate my parents had they own two houses in their entire life

but fast forward here I am it looked like great opportunity. And I really do love looking at
