Rental properties are often one of the largest—and least analyzed—assets your clients own. In their first session, Dan Williams and Todd Swanson introduced a powerful framework to help advisors evaluate rental real estate more effectively. Now, they’re back for a deeper, more advanced dive into how financial advisors can move from awareness to action.
This follow-up webinar is designed for advisors who want to go beyond basic evaluation and start delivering high-impact, strategic guidance around rental properties—helping clients make better decisions, reduce risk, and improve long-term outcomes.
What This Advanced Session Will Cover
- From “Hobby Landlord” to Strategic Decision-Maker
- Building on the initial framework, Dan and Todd will show you how to guide clients through real-world decisions using structured analysis—not guesswork or outdated assumptions.
- Pressure-Testing Property Performance
- Go deeper into evaluating rental properties using refined metrics and scenario modeling. Learn how to identify when a property is quietly underperforming—even if it appears “fine” on the surface.
- Advanced Use of the Rental Property Worksheet
- Take the Schedule E framework further by uncovering patterns across multiple years, identifying red flags in repairs and vacancy, and spotting missed tax opportunities that can materially impact returns.Cash Flow Optimization Strategies
- Explore how financing structures, re-amortization, and capital positioning can dramatically improve (or quietly erode) a property’s performance—and how to quantify those changes for clients.
- Market Selection: Matching Strategy to Geography
Move beyond general market commentary and learn how to align property location with client goals—whether that’s income, stability, or long-term growth—while factoring in maintenance trends, housing stock, and local dynamics.
