About this episode
Ari Rubin shares his experiences with challenging rental situations and why he still believes in the value of real estate investing.
Ari Rubin has been investing in rental properties long enough to know that eventually, something is going to go wrong. Really wrong.

He talks about a contractor he didn’t hire who broke into one of his properties, demolished the kitchen, and planned to move into the house himself. He also shares the story of a “professional tenant” who moved in and never paid rent, and a property where he spent $60,000 on renovations only to discover a major foundation issue that caused the entire house to shift just six months later.

Throughout the episode, Ari explains how he handled these situations, what he learned from them, and why he still believes rental properties are one of the best ways to build…
