Rental properties are supposed to be passive income… right? Not so fast...

In this episode of Friends of Mortgage Heroes, Andy sits down with Dina King of We Lease USA to break down what’s really happening in the San Diego rental market — and why more landlords than ever are hitting a breaking point.

From missed rent payments to legal risks, market saturation, and rising tenant expectations… owning rental property today is more complex than most people realize.

💥 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why rental properties are NOT Guaranteed passive income anymore
• The #1 reason landlords are giving up (it’s not what you think)
• How market saturation is impacting rental prices in San Diego
• Why tenant experience now matters more than ever
• The hidden risks of unpermitted ADUs and legal exposure
• How property management helps you protect your asset AND your time
• What tenants can do to actually get approved faster
• Where smart investors are looking next in San Diego

Most landlords don’t fail because of bad tenants… They fail because they underestimate how much time, strategy, and systems it takes to manage a property correctly.

As Dina explains, the real value of property management isn’t just collecting rent — it’s solving problems, reducing risk, and giving owners their time back.
