## Resource

Check out Rental Property Pro: https://rentalproppro.com/booking?am_id=reign 290 - Scaling Real Estate Investments with Chandra Adduri Jen Josey kicks off this REIGN "Past Project" episode with a Badassery Bestowment on turning family and friends into private money lenders—without wrecking relationships. She walks through how to lead with education, focus on safety and clarity, keep terms simple, use professional paperwork (title company/attorney), and communicate like a CEO so lenders feel protected and respected. Jen then welcomes first-time podcast guest Chandra Adduri, a New Jersey-based tech professional and long-time investor with an 18-property, multi-state portfolio. Chandra shares how his upbringing in India shaped his "invest in land/assets" mindset, why mentorship matters (shoutout to Rental Property Pro and John Blackburn), and how buying out of state helped him avoid the "DIY trap" that kills scalability. The featured project is Chandra's newest acquisition: a 3 bed/2 bath beach condo in a Myrtle Beach resort community, purchased to expand into short-term rentals (STRs) and leverage STR tax advantages. He breaks down why he likes HOA amenities for competitiveness and convenience, how he financed with a specialized "condotel" loan, what he changed to stand out (colorful furniture + crisp white linens), and what it really takes to self-manage STRs—systems, fast responses, and a reliable local team. The episode wraps with Jen's BADASS acronym segment, covering Chandra's favorite book, advice, goals (including acquiring a home services business), and his definition of success: buying back time. 00:00 Introduction to REIGN and Today's Episode 00:58 Badassery Bestowment: Turning Family and Friends into Private Money Lenders 03:44 Meet Today's Guest: Chandra Addu…
