## Resource

On this episode, Tom McGreevy might not sound like your typical landlord. He doesn’t raise rents, doesn’t charge late fees, and even admits he might be “too nice” to his tenants. In fact, Tom says he’d give himself a failing grade as a landlord. But despite that, he’s built a portfolio that generates over $200,000 a year in rental income. Tom breaks down how his strategy actually works. His long-term rentals provide steady, reliable cash flow that covers all of his fixed expenses, giving him a solid financial foundation. Then his Airbnb properties, which are more unpredictable, become the upside and drive his profit. He also shares why having those short-term rentals located three hours away has turned out to be an advantage rather than a drawback. We also talk about the role his W2 job plays in his investing strategy, and how it’s allowed him to take bigger risks without relying on rental income to live. Tom shares how he’s sold properties along the way and how working with a knowledgeable CPA helped him legally avoid a massive tax hit. https://rentalincomepodcast.com/episode567 Thanks To Our Sponsors: Ridge Lending Group - Making the investment mortgage process simple and stress-free.
