Why Getting Rich Slow Still Wins with Jennifer Ruelens

Buy and hold investing may not be flashy, but it has helped investors build wealth for generations.

Jennifer Ruelens joins Dave Dubeau to explain why patience is one of the most valuable assets in real estate. Drawing on more than two decades of property management experience, she shares why long term ownership continues to outperform the pursuit of quick profits.

During the conversation, Jen introduces her "five way payday" framework and explains how cash flow, appreciation, mortgage paydown, tax benefits, and inflation protection work together over time. She also discusses why investors often overestimate short term cash flow and why a small portfolio of well managed properties can create meaningful long term wealth.
