0:00.0	Welcome back to the Real Estate Rookie podcast where we tackle the real world questions new and
0:06.2	growing investors are asking every day.
0:09.3	And today's episode is proof that no matter where you are in your journey, whether you're
0:13.1	closing on your first deal or managing 20 plus units, real estate brings new challenges at almost
