When a Slumlord owns your Arbitrage, Evolve Sucks, Linked In, Hood Food!
Description
Myka and Steve reunite after a break to tackle the gritty reality of arbitrage. Steve's dealing with a slumlord landlord who won't fix faulty wiring - a tree fell, insurance won't cover it, and the house sits vacant while rent keeps coming due. They vent about unresponsive owners, ghost cleaners, and the difference between landlords who fix things fast and those who shop for quotes while guests swelter in 110-degree heat.
The episode swings through Steve's shift back to corporate life ("I'm not built to work under people"), Myka's baby boy announcement, and her new Grand Prairie DSCR deal with partner Cheryl. They discuss corporate housing wins, the Evolve exodus, structuring VA teams, and why hood Pizza Huts deliver heavier boxes. Steve's re-learning the value of clocking out, Myka's pivoting to max out IT contracting income to bankroll real estate, and both agree: never rent from someone who owns ten properties but won't send the AC guy.
