Was Dave Ramsey Right About Rentals? (Don’t Use Debt)
The BiggerPockets team debates Dave Ramsey's anti-leverage philosophy with investor Deandra McDonald, who built her portfolio from $4,000. They answer forum questions on tenant screening (should you accept a questionable tenant paying a year upfront?), managing contractor schedules during turnovers, and how to raise your first down payment with little money. McDonald also shares lessons learned from hotel conversion projects.
