Good morning,
Thank you for signing up to Real Estate Investing Intelligence. I’ve been a real estate investor for 5 years - purchasing my first four properties before the age of 29. I’ve always loved sharing my knowledge with others so that they too can achieve financial success. Financial independence is a far-off dream for so many. It’s more achievable than you might think. Whether you are an aspiring real estate investor or a veteran, this newsletter is going to give you actionable intelligence that will help you succeed.
This is my very first edition. I’m excited to see where it goes.
There’s a great personal finance book called “The Index Card”. According to the book, all of the information someone needs for personal finance can fit on a notecard. I decided to make a version of that for real estate investing. No book purchase required. Just keep reading.
10 Cardinal Rules of Real Estate Investing
Don’t get over your skis - leverage works both ways
Buy for cash flow
Location, Location, Location
Diversification is a trap - 10 properties on the same street are easier to manage than 10 properties in the same country
Assets are tax advantaged - more assets are more tax advantaged
Consistency is better than speculation
Don’t take on 200% more stress for 10% higher returns
Purchase assets - avoid liabilities
Use other people’s money - keep yours
Time in the market beats timing the market
