## Resource

Greg Hall did what a lot of investors dream about, he scaled fast. In just three years, Greg built a portfolio of more than 100 rental properties, buying mostly single-family homes in a market about three hours from where he lived. His strategy was simple and effective: buy low, renovate smart, and create quality rentals in solid neighborhoods. He wasn’t slapping lipstick on properties, he was turning distressed homes into places good tenants actually wanted to live. On paper, everything worked. But then something happened that most investors never even consider…The city stepped in and started condemning and demolishing his properties. On this episode, we break down how that’s even possible. What triggers something like this? What happens when you still have a mortgage on a property that no longer exists? And most importantly, how can you protect yourself from a situation like this? Greg shares the full story, what went wrong, what he would do differently, and how he bounced back. We also talk about how his investing strategy has evolved today, and how he’s approaching risk in a completely different way. https://rentalincomepodcast.com/episode570 Thanks To Our Sponsors: The Guarantors – Protect your property against losses, rent defaults, vacancies, lease breaks, damages, and more.
