Real estate investing is great…sometimes. Other times, it’s NOT fun to be a real estate investor. While the pros, like financial freedom, generational wealth, and passive income definitely outweigh the cons, there are times when real estate investing makes you sit back and think, “Wow, I’m not having fun right now.” So we’re here to vent some of our biggest frustrations about the real estate industry, and if you’re an investor, landlord, house flipper, or property manager, you’ll probably relate.
These are the things that grind our gears the MOST. Now we’re not saying to ditch rental properties and real estate investing because of these downsides. Despite all these investment property pains, we still believe real estate is the best asset class for investing. But you will be hit with the headaches that we go through if you decide to invest.
The good news? We will give you actionable tips to avoid the worst of these throughout the episode. If you’re brand new to real estate investing or are thinking of buying your first property, this is advice you need to hear before you begin so you can make the most money with the least amount of stress.

So Henry, let’s just not waste any time. I know you’ve been itching to do this episode. It was actually, it was your idea at BP Con. We were just joking about this and now we’re here doing it. So tell me one thing that you just can’t stand about this business that we’ve voluntarily chosen to devote our lives to.
