You know I’m all about sharing what works for me in my life and business, and that’s what we’re doing in today’s episode. I have my husband, Adam, back on the podcast and we’re sharing 7 things we learned in these first years of real estate investing. It’s the good, the bad, and the ugly with plenty of laughs along the way.    Whether you also invest in real estate or if you’re just wanting to do this at some point, there is something for you here.
