Landlord Away Your Student Loan Debt
Michael O'Dell · 2018
🎙 Narrated by Jeff Lechtanski and Michael Sean O'Dell
63/100
👎 Skip It
A genuinely unusual angle — using rental property income to torch $200k in student loans — and O'Dell's first-person story makes it a compelling listen if real estate investing is already on your radar. But it's one guy's anecdote, not a broadly applicable playbook, and requires capital and risk tolerance most listeners won't have; the author-narrated audio is serviceable but self-published rough around the edges.
✦ Penny’s Take — this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read — not a page-by-page personal one. The gold ✓ Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.

🎙 Narration: fine Narrated by the author and his wife Jeff Lechtanski/Michael Sean O'Dell; author-narrated books can be uneven, and no independent quality feedback was found to confirm either way.
