#135: From $50 million to zero. That’s what happened to the net worth of today’s guest, Rod Khleif, in the mortgage meltdown of 2008.

His mistake was that he focused on real estate appreciation rather than cash flow, and he lost control. He’s owned 2,000 single-family homes and multifamily units.

Rod is a motivating guy. He talks to us about Single Family vs. Multifamily Property, self-management of property, and the psychology of success and fulfillment.
