Ep 303. OUCH! Brandon and David's 10 Biggest Investing Mistakes!

[Mindy Jensen]

Are you a little tired of hearing about all the “successes” of real estate investors and wondering how realistic this is in the real world? Well, on today’s show, Brandon and David share the 10 biggest mistakes they’ve made in their investing careers—warts and all!

Let’s be honest—real estate isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. Mistakes happen! In this episode, we cover WHY investors often sabotage their own success and what can be done to overcome this! You’ll learn how to avoid massaging your numbers to force a bad deal through, how to guard against getting ripped off by contractors, how to hire the RIGHT team members to help you succeed, and how to fire the wrong ones!

We also cover the high cost of analysis paralysis and how to move past it, how to choose the right market for yourself, and the mistake that cost David $5,000—simply because he didn’t understand how inspection periods work in different states. If you want to see the real story behind real estate investing, including the stuff that often isn’t talked about, don’t miss your chance for some authentic, honest transparency from two experienced investors!

The success stories and how-to's on BiggerPockets are great motivation and set people up to take actions toward investing. For myself, learning what not to do is just as important of learning what to do. It's part of what makes the famous 4...sorta 5 questions so great at the end of the BiggerPockets Money podcast. This podcast was very informative, thank you!
