Why Older Landlords Need a REAL Exit Plan with Bruce Stein

What happens to a real estate portfolio when the owner is suddenly unable to manage it?

That is the question Bruce Stein started asking after years working with older investors, family offices, and large real estate portfolios. What he discovered was surprising. Many investors had millions of dollars in properties, but no organized plan for what would happen if they became sick, incapacitated, or passed away.

In this episode, Bruce explains why estate planning is not enough on its own and why real estate investors need practical systems, documentation, and transition plans for their families.

Bruce also shares stories from his experience in family offices, development, bridge lending, and consulting for aging real estate investors with portfolios worth millions of dollars.
