In this episode of the Rent To Retirement Podcast, host Matthew Seyoum welcomes investment strategist and new recurring co-host Tommy Brown to the show.

Tommy shares his journey from teaching in public schools to building and scaling a multi-state rental portfolio — all while helping hundreds of investors do the same. If you’ve ever felt stuck on the sidelines or unsure whether to invest locally or out of state, this conversation will bring clarity.

We dive into the real differences between new construction and rehab properties, how experienced investors think about portfolio diversification, and why so many people get trapped in analysis paralysis. Tommy also shares what he’s seeing right now in today’s market — including why Ohio rehabs continue to perform and why Tuscaloosa new construction has been attracting investor attention.

Whether you’re brand new to rental investing or already own multiple doors, this episode will help you think more strategically about risk, cash flow, appreciation, and long-term scaling.
