Dustin and Adam tackle the misuse of the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) in investment decision-making, explaining why relying solely on IRR can lead passive investors astray, especially when comparing different types of real estate investments.

The discussion breaks down how IRR calculations can be easily manipulated through uncontrollable assumptions, why timing of cash flows dramatically impacts this metric, and when IRR might actually work against long-term hold strategies.

Whether you're evaluating your next passive investment opportunity or refining your due diligence process, this episode provides crucial insights into looking beyond flashy return projections to assess true value alignment with your financial independence goals.
