Ep #170: John Schaub – Opportunities and Pitfalls in the Current Market

My guest today is a nationally recognized real estate author and investor with nearly forty years of experience. He also happens to be a gentleman who got me started in real estate back in my early 20s, so it’s a real treat to have him on the show to share his expertise.

John Schaub teaches real estate acquisition, management, and investment, and after experiencing multiple recessions and quite a few tax law changes, he has seen it all when it comes to real estate. Listen in to hear his take on the current market, where new investors tend to go wrong, and the opportunities out there for investors today.
