At some point, many business owners begin asking what they should do with extra cash once the business becomes stable.

In this episode of the Empowering Healthy Business Podcast, Cal Wilder talks with Adam Landrum about how he approached investing in real estate as a business owner.

• Renting vs owning office space
• How to think about property as part of a long-term strategy
• Renovation mistakes and what they cost
