A real-life nightmare about dealing with squatters in Los Angeles County. Rob walks us through a shocking timeline: from the illegal break-in to a dramatic sheriff lockout, and the outrageous moment the squatters came back the same day.
This isn’t just a story—it’s a wake-up call. Rob’s experience exposes the broken system that allows squatters to exploit utility loopholes, avoid eviction, and destroy the value of good housing. You’ll hear how this has affected Rob’s ability to sell his property, what he’s learned, and why this could happen to anyone.
If you’re a landlord, investor, or just someone who cares about protecting property rights, this is a must-listen.

What if I told you there was an alternative to multifamily investing that didn't have rent control, you won't have to deal with evictions and has more freedom for investors? I'm talking about self-storage investing for real estate investors. It's a hybrid method in which you own both the self-storage business and the real estate it's located in.
