Most landlords don't find out what they did wrong until it costs them thousands of dollars, or worse, a lawsuit. In this episode, we sit down with Bonnie Galam, a real estate attorney with over a decade of experience who has also built a 100+ unit rental portfolio alongside her husband, all while maintaining her legal career. Bonnie brings a rare dual perspective to this conversation, having seen firsthand where landlords in the Philadelphia and South Jersey market run into trouble, and having lived the investing side of the business herself. We dig into the most common legal pitfalls new and experienced landlords make, what to actually look for before signing a lease or closing on a property, and the mistakes that quietly drain profits or expose investors to liability. If you own rental property or are thinking about getting into real estate investing anywhere (but especially in the Philly or South Jersey area), this episode will change how you approach your next deal.
