In 2021, you could close your eyes, hand a property to a third-party manager, and still double your money.

Not anymore.

Today’s market is a different beast—rising interest rates, valuation corrections, overbuilding, and tightening debt markets have completely changed the rules.

That’s why I brought back Josh Welch and Mark Shuler—two operators with over 4,000 units under management—to unpack exactly how they’re navigating the storm.

In this episode, they reveal:

• Why efficiency and process are the new unfair advantage
• How to scale property operations without losing control
• The hidden risks in today’s debt markets most investors are ignoring
• How top operators are buying deals at 2018 prices… and winning

Josh also shares how his in-house team is turning struggling properties around, even ones with 30% delinquency.

If you’re serious about navigating the next cycle and staying ahead of the herd…listen to the episode now.

Take Control, Hunter Thompson
