How to Scale Rentals Without Investors | Mike Preshman

Описание: How to Scale Rentals Without Investors | Mike Preshman breaks down how Mike went from a tech background to building a 220-unit rental portfolio across New England by reinvesting cash flow, using house hacking, and staying disciplined about equity-building instead of chasing hype. He shares why he avoids outside investors, how he thinks about using debt strategically, what makes acquisitions harder in today’s market, and why upgrading asset quality is the path to a more passive long-term business. The conversation also dives into evictions, mentorship, building conviction in your own operating style, and the “probabilistic thinking” mental model Mike uses to make better decisions under uncertainty.
