About this lesson
Somebody owns every building your kid has ever slept in. The owner's side of the rent check runs four engines at once: rent, loan payoff, rising value, and tax treatment. The house you live in pays you in bedrooms. A building with a tenant mails you money.
What you’ll learn
- Real estate can pay four ways at once.
- Run landlord math on a real building down the street.
- The house you live in and a building with a tenant are different deals.
- Debt multiplies good buys and bad ones.
