Summary
Daniel Freeman sits down with Michelle Gjerness, property manager and real estate agent with Freeman Realty & Investments, to explore what investors often miss when evaluating a property from afar. Michelle shares how boots-on-the-ground knowledge helps uncover the realities behind location, tenants, occupancy and property condition—and why the numbers alone don't tell the whole story.
Michelle also opens up about losing a business after years of high income, rebuilding financially, and how her definition of wealth shifted from purchasing power to stability, freedom and creating a future for her family.
