Episode 12
Thursday, 12 February, 2026
In this episode of the Investor Shed Podcast, hosts Nick Beveridge (real estate agent & investor) and Jeremy Kitchen (hard money lender) dive deep into why rental properties remain one of the most powerful wealth-building tools — even in today's market.We cover 11 powerful reasons (plus a bonus #12 on stacked returns) why owning long-term rentals makes sense for real estate investors, agents, and small business owners:Steady passive income (with extras like laundry, storage, or future Airbnb potential)Property appreciation — North Idaho has historically outpaced inflationMassive tax advantages (deductions, depreciation, and real estate professional benefits)Easy leverage using other people's money (banks love collateralizing real estate)Built-in inflation hedge — fixed-rate debt + rising rents over timePortfolio diversification and recession resilience (rentals often perform well when stocks tank)Full control & customization over your asset (upgrades, tenants, pricing)Automatic equity building through amortization (tenants pay down your mortgage)Generational wealth & legacy planning (easy transfer, step-up basis)Strong demand & resilience in economic shifts (people always need housing + Section 8 options)Personal growth, business savvy, and community impact as a landlord Bonus #12: Stacked returns — see how low cash-flow rentals can deliver 20-30%+ effective ROI in year 1 when you layer cash flow + principal paydown + appreciation + tax savingsWe get real about the challenges (tenants, capex, management), but explain how property managers, systems, and selective buying make rentals truly semi-passive. Perfect for anyone building long-term wealth in real estate — whether you're in North Idaho or looking for referral opportunities nationwide.If you're a real estate investor tired of hearing "rentals don't cash flow anymore," an agent wanting smarter conversations with clients, or a small business owner exploring diversification — this episode is for you.Timestamps:00:00 - Holiday vibes & getting back to real estate03:51 - Sponsor shoutout: Penny Bees Soap (use code SHED for 10% off!)08:36 - Why rentals still win long-term11:00+ - The full 11 reasons + stacked returns breakdownJoin the conversation in the comments: What's your #1 reason for owning (or wanting to own) rentals?Subscribe for more real estate investing strategies, market updates, and no-BS advice tailored to investors, agents, and entrepreneurs.🔗 Connect with us:Official YouTube Podcast Page: https://www.youtube.com/@TheInvestorShedNick Beveridge's YouTube Page: https://www.youtube.com/@NickBeveridgeReal Estate Website: northidahorei.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063653307069Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theinvestorshed/Join our free mastermind... while it lasts at: https://www.skool.com/investor-shed-mastermind-3760/about?ref=3954156a8a584514a27931cc84f33c46
