About this listen


Losing a spouse is life-changing — and when real estate is involved, the decisions can feel overwhelming. Should you keep your rental properties? Sell? Hire a property manager? In this powerful episode of From Tears to Triumph: A Widow’s Journey, financial advisor Tim Hudson is joined by real estate expert David Benham, who has over 20 years of experience owning everything from single-family rentals to commercial buildings.

Together, they walk widows through the practical and emotional steps of managing real estate after loss, including:

  • How to evaluate the true value and income of your properties

  • Understanding rental property expenses, taxes, and cash flow

  • When to consider selling vs. holding for long-term gains

  • The benefits and protections of using a property management company

  • Legal and tax considerations, including LLCs, umbrella policies, and cost basis tracking

Whether you’re suddenly managing properties for the first time or deciding if real estate still fits into your financial future, this episode offers clear, compassionate guidance to help you make wise, confident decisions.
