In TCREI Show #6, we welcome Kwame Osafo-Addo, an attorney and real estate investor based in Long Lake, MN. Kwame lives in a househacked duplex and offers legal counsel to small business owners and landlords, particularly in the realm of landlord/tenant disputes. His career began by representing hundreds of tenants in legal actions, giving him a unique perspective on housing law that he now uses to advise landlords with empathy and strategic clarity.
