Summary

Is self-managing your rental properties a smart move—or a fast track to burnout? In this episode, we dive into the pros and cons of being your own property manager. Some real estate investors thrive on the hands-on approach, even from thousands of miles away. Others prefer to delegate and focus on growing their portfolio. Join us and special guest Steve White as we discuss what it really takes to self-manage successfully, when it might make sense to outsource, and how to figure out what’s right for you. Whether you're a hands-on landlord or an investor looking to scale, this conversation might just help you decide where to draw the line.
