543 | How to Fix a Frankenstein Portfolio Before It’s Too Late

April 24, 2025 • Bryce Holdaway & Ben Kingsley

Folks, one of the most common pieces of feedback we receive on the podcast is, “I wish I’d found you guys sooner.”

The problem they're facing now? They’ve got the correct knowledge BUT they’ve built what we call a Frankenstein Portfolio.

We’re talking about an impressive portfolio that looks great on the surface but, in reality, has very little growth.

So how does it happen?
✅ What are the most common traps that lead investors to this point?
✅ Why do so many end up here — and more importantly…
✅ How can you rebuild your portfolio before it’s too late?

It’s an episode for those who started without a plan or without a clear cohesion of steps but want to turn it all around because, folks, it’s NEVER too late to start again.

Tune in now!

P.S. Feeling worn down by headlines, tenant challenges or worn down by mates who don't get it? Listen to Bryce’s Mindset Minute for some quick wisdom to get you through these times.
