Adam Negri believes real estate is the easiest business in the world. In his view, anyone can do it.

He explains why he focuses on straightforward residential rentals in working-class neighborhoods, why he avoids office and retail, and why he only invests within a short drive of home.Adam also shares why patience is one of the most important skills for investors, why buying too many properties at once can backfire, and why he is very cautious with leverage.https://rentalincomepodcast.com/episode549Thanks To Our Sponsors:Ridge Lending Group - Making investment Mortgage process simple and stress-free.MidSouth HomeBuyers – Turnkey Rentals In Memphis & Little Rock.
