This is the Rental Income Podcast, where we talk to owners of rental properties and give you actionable tips and advice that will help you make more money while dealing with less hassle.

And now your host, Dan Lane.

I put together a list of seven things I wish I knew earlier about renting properties.

And you can download your free copy.

Just go to my website, free landlordgift.com.

All right, on the show today, we have Sheila Koneke.

And Sheila is a house flipper.

She flips a whole bunch of houses every year.

And she also owns and manages 20 rental properties that she does all by herself.

So I want to find out a little bit more about her and her business.

So let's get right into it.

And if you want to see the show notes for everything we talked about,

you can find it at RentalIncomepodcast.com slash episode six.

So let's just get right into it.

Sheila, why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself and how you got started?

Okay. I'm actually a chemical engineer. I graduated from MIT and I worked as a manufacturing engineer.

And I actually still do that. I build circuit cards. And when I was in my mid-30s, I thought, you know, do I want to

continue doing that and write papers and go to conferences or do I want to learn something else

and have a business? And I decided future-wise, I would much rather have a business. So a friend of

mine and I, we went and took one of those three-day classes on flipping houses.

And it was, you know, from a small company who that's what they do and, you know, you pay them a fee.

And then supposedly they help you get your first house.
