Be A Better Landlord

In this episode, Ashley Kehr breaks down the 1-year rule that allows you to buy a primary residence, live in it for one year, and then convert it into a rental property, often with better financing, lower down payments, and no refinance required.

Ashley walks through a real example from her own portfolio, explains how to avoid over-improving your property, and shows how to decide whether upgrades will actually increase rent in your market. This strategy is especially powerful for renters, first-time landlords, or anyone already planning a move.

If you’re thinking about buying a home, moving soon, or getting started in rental real estate, this is one of the simplest ways to build long-term wealth.
