Passive Income Real Estate

Being a landlord is not as easy as some would have you believe. It also doesn’t need to be a nightmare if you have the right training, processes, and resources at your disposal. Laurence Jakelow was working for Goldman Sachs when he bought a 3-unit property and realized how tough it was to have a full-time job and be a landlord at the same time. While there were resources for large property owners, the individual property owners had few resources at their disposal. Jakelow decided to change this and quit his job to build Avail, a software platform to serve everyday landlords. In this episode, he shares why he built a property management software company, the common challenges and mistakes of landlords, and how to attract quality tenants.
