EP:7 "FROM CONTRACTS TO COURTROOMS: PROTECTING YOUR REAL ESTATE EMPIRE" The Real Open House Guest: Niv Davidovich Host: Josh Oleesky

Most people think being a landlord is passive income… until they actually become one. In this episode, I sit down with Niv—an attorney who represents landlords—and we get into the real side of the business. Not the Instagram version—the reality. We're talking about tenant situations that spiral fast, legal battles you don't see coming, and stories that honestly sound made up… but aren't. Niv breaks down what's actually happening behind the scenes—what rights landlords really have, where people go wrong, and how one mistake can cost you serious time, money, and stress. Some of these stories are insane. And if you're in real estate, they're closer to your reality than you think. Inside the episode: * The wildest tenant situations we've seen firsthand * What landlords can legally do (and where they get burned) * The biggest mistakes that turn small problems into lawsuits * How to protect yourself before things go sideways * Real insights from someone who deals with this every day in court This isn't theory. This is what actually happens. If you own property—or plan to—this episode might save you way more than just time. Listen carefully… because the details matter more than you think.
