Episode 7: "Be the Bank" vs. "Be the Landlord"
If you don’t understand the underlying investment structure, you’re choosing between very different risk profiles.
In this episode, we compare two distinct real‑estate investment roles — acting like the bank (note investor) versus acting like the landlord (property owner) — and dig into how to decide which path (or blend) fits your goals.
🔍 What you’ll learn:
✅ Why owning the note (being the bank) offers cash flow without tenant headaches
✅ Why being the landlord offers control of property but adds operational risk
✅ Key underwriting checks whether you’re buying debt or real estate equity
✅ How to automate, systematize and iterate your business whichever side you choose
