Summary

The episode discusses three commonly accepted real estate investment rules that no longer apply effectively in today's market. The 1% Rule, once a useful screening tool, fails to consider rising costs like taxes, insurance, and HOA fees. Location's importance is overemphasized compared to the critical role of property management. The traditional buy-and-hold strategy is questioned due to market volatility and changing personal circumstances. Matt explains why these rules are outdated and offers a modern approach for savvy investors to stay ahead. Additional resources and opportunities for tailored advice are mentioned.
