I've worked with a lot of real estate investors, and I've noticed that many of them make one dire mistake. I see it all the time—a rookie investor thinks they can make more in rent and attract a higher quality tenant by making extraneous purchases, but it never works out that way. Inexperienced investors often try to over upgrade their property based on what is appropriate for the neighborhood.
On this episode of Investing in Real Estate, I'll share more about why this rookie mistake is such a serious problem. I'll talk about why over upgrading your property decreases your ROI, and I'll give one exception to this rule! Don't miss episode 243!

A few months ago, we posted a video in which we discussed the behind the scenes decision-making process of a potential real estate purchase. Since then, we ultimately decided to follow through on the purchase. This deal was unlike our other real estate purchases. Typically we conduct the entire closing process electronically, and never see our rentals in person.
However, this was a rare local purchase, and I actually was able to speak with the seller—a retiring millionaire landlord. On today’s show, Natali and I are sharing the lessons we’ve learned from this experience. Please join us on episode 241 of Investing in Real Estate!

In my experience talking to investors, men specifically have difficulty being vulnerable. Many of us become consumed by our ego, and feel like we have to put on a façade. In reality, this does us no favors; it keeps us from growing, investing, and building wealth.

We’ll discuss how we as men can hold ourselves responsible, and how to begin responding with compassion instead of reacting negatively. We’ll also talk about setting your intention every day, investing passively, and much more! Lewis has so much insight to share, you won’t want to miss episode 226 of Investing in Real Estate!
