    • Jon Chan: Interview with Dave Dubeau
      Feb 19 2026

      Are you a frustrated landlord?

      Maybe you own a few rental properties and expected passive income… but instead you got late-night maintenance calls, tenant issues, repairs, and endless property management headaches.

      In this episode, Dave sits down with Jon Chan, who experienced exactly that — and then completely changed his real estate strategy.

      Jon shares how he went from owning multiple single-family rentals across several states to stepping away from being a landlord entirely and building a more passive income stream through private lending and raising capital.

      What You’ll Learn
      • How Jon started with house hacking in 2017

      • Why owning more properties actually created more work, not freedom

      • The hidden costs and stress of managing rentals across multiple markets

      • Why he sold off his portfolio — even though it was cash-flowing

      • How he helped his mom retire using real estate income

      • A safer way to invest in real estate without tenants or toilets

      • Why relationships and education beat sales skills when raising capital

      • Jon’s plan to scale to $10 million in loans

      Jon’s Real Estate Journey

      Jon’s investing journey started with a simple idea: reduce his living expenses.

      In 2017, he purchased a large home with a separate basement apartment and rented it out. The rental income covered a big portion of the mortgage — a classic house hacking strategy.

      Encouraged by success, Jon scaled quickly using the BRRRR method and bought properties in:

      • Huntsville, Alabama

      • Chattanooga, Tennessee

      • Baltimore, Maryland

      • Akron, Ohio

      The numbers looked great on paper — but reality was different.

      Each market had different:

      • licensing requirements

      • tax rules

      • permits

      • management challenges

      Soon, the administrative workload became overwhelming.

      Even though the properties technically cash-flowed, maintenance expenses, repairs, and management responsibilities consumed his time and energy.
