I invited Sarah, from NERDS Guide To Wellness, to come on the podcast and share everything she’s learned about being a rental property owner. She dug into why rentals are fun, why they make a good investment, how much you should spend on a property.

Plus, she shared her family’s story, why they chose rentals, and how they broke most of Dave Ramsey’s rules.

IN THIS EPISODE, SAMI + Sarah CHAT ABOUT:

  • Why rentals are a good investment

  • How much you should spend on a property

  • Tips + advice for newbie landlords

  • Why Sarah believes rentals are a fun way to invest

  • How Sarah and her husband determine that a property is “worth the hassle”

  • How to decide if you need a property manager, a handyman, or other people on staff

  • Cash-Flowing vs. Leveraging Debt

  • Lessons she’ll be taking into future purchases with her

Sarah Brandenberger joined the debt free community in 2017 before it was even the #debtfreecommunity! In addition to her day job, she waitressed her way out of debt. Sarah and her husband paid off over $118,000 in consumer debt.

With both spouses being natural spenders, super saving and penny pinching their way to financial independence was not appealing. Her husband always dreamed of owning rental properties, and after some research, Sarah was hooked.

Today they have 4 houses, one piece of land, and no costumer debt.
