Rental properties are a popular investment tool on the way to financial freedom, but owning and maintaining rental properties are two very different things.    In this episode, I share 4 ways that being a landlord can be more expensive than you might be ready for. I also interview Adam, the SVP of Growth & Partnerships at Steadily, who uses technology to help landlords and real estate investors get fast and affordable insurance for any property type.   I'm pumped to partner with Adam and Steadily as our podcast sponsor to give away $10K (wahoo!) ?
