Q&A: I’m Tired of Managing My Rental Property. Should I Sell It?

A caller wants to sell her rental property before moving to Madrid for an MBA, but Paula argues the solution is hiring a property manager instead. The episode also covers how major repairs can be a form of forced investing, a simple way to estimate a rental's real return, and why women's labor force participation dropped in July even though they gained the majority of new jobs this year. The discussion closes with the growing argument that trade school may be a better bet than a four-year degree for some graduates.
