CW 728 - Understanding The Property Supply Chain for Real Estate Investors

Jason’s guest today, Dave, is a member of a real estate investor Mastermind group. During the last meeting, there was a consensus that two major problems exist with the rehabilitation of properties. Dave shares the two issues and some of the solutions discussed during the Mastermind meeting and feedback from his experience over the last year. Jason recognizes the property supply chain is currently going through a boom cycle.
