2208 FBF: Landlord Friendly Markets, Tenant Retention & Self-Management App Bixby by Mark Smukler

This Flashback Friday is from episode 1178 published last April  23, 2019.

Jason Hartman and Adam start the episode today discussing landlord friendly markets. Specifically, how you can determine whether you're investing in markets that are. Jason explains an easy (but not foolproof) way to figure out if a market is friendly to investors, as well as another way to find out the difficulties of evicting tenants in your potential market.

Then Jason talks with Mark Smukler, co-founder and CEO at Bixby, about self-management.
