David explains his unique &quot;free lunch metric,&quot; which he used to identify stable neighborhoods by ensuring fewer than 50% of local students qualified for government-assisted meals. Throughout the discussion, the pair explores the benefits of&amp;nbsp;buy-and-hold strategies&amp;nbsp;in linear markets like&amp;nbsp;Indianapolis, emphasizing cash flow over speculative appreciation. David shares practical advice on&amp;nbsp;managing property managers, maintaining financial buffers, and the importance of professional oversight for supposedly passive investments. They conclude by highlighting how David\u2019s&amp;nbsp;courageous investing&amp;nbsp;during the Great Recession successfully built a&amp;nbsp;reliable income stream&amp;nbsp;for his retirement. &amp;nbsp;  #FreeLunchMetric #RealEstateInvesting #CashFlowMachine #BuyAndHold #PropertyManagement #SingleFamilyHomes #IndianapolisRealEstate #PhoenixRealEstate #FinancialBuffer #PassiveIncome  EmpoweredInvestor.com\/Wednesday  PropertyTracker.com &amp;nbsp;  &amp;nbsp;_______________________________________________________________  Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM &amp;amp; LINKEDIN   Twitter.com\/JasonHartmanROI   Instagram.com\/jasonhartman1\/   Linkedin.com\/in\/jasonhartmaninvestor\/  Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/empoweredinvestor.com\/  Free Class: &amp;nbsp;Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/empoweredinvestor.com\/Fund  CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes &amp;amp; Estate Planning:   https:\/\/empoweredinvestor.com\/Protect  Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business \u2013 Free Course:&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/empoweredinvestor.com\/deals  Special Offer from Ron LeGrand:  https:\/\/empoweredinvestor.com\/Ron  Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing:  https:\/\/www.PandemicInvesting.com  &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; ","author_name":"Heroic Investing Show","author_url":"http:\/\/www.heroicinvesting.com\/podcast\/","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/42716785\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/item\/42716785"}
