Tyler Nash returns to the show to walk us through his latest commercial purchase in South Minneapolis near Richfield — an 11-unit deal that came with more than its share of unexpected surprises. From problem tenants to hidden costs, this was a project that tested his resolve and forced him to adapt quickly. But instead of regretting it, Tyler sees the deal as one of the most valuable learning experiences in his investing journey, giving him tools and perspective to avoid many of these pitfalls in the future.

In this conversation, Tyler shares the challenges that nearly derailed the deal, while Adam and Tim weigh in with their own landlord war stories and lessons learned. Together, the discussion highlights the reality that real estate investing isn’t always smooth — but the wealth and resilience built through surviving these “nightmares” can make every challenge worthwhile.
