The one thing that JWB does well in terms of management is trying to manage my expectations through scripted interaction and condescending comments like "maybe real estate is not a good fit for you”.

Back when a close friend of mine; he’s a commercial landlord in Phoenix who once took on a quircky triplex in a tough neighborhood..decided to reshuffle his insurance setup, I saw firsthand how getting stuck in a clunky policy can really stall your forward momentum.

Both land investing and multifamily are great but what's best for you is more important.Land has no cashflow and is speculating imo too so personally it doesn't fit my investment thesis of buying property that produces cashflow.

Fits personal space needs for now, and business goals lng-term.How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Make sure they will easily fit with your small trash bags.

He ended up finding an eight-plex in a growing neighborhood that’s now practically printing rent checks for him.

I also have one neighborhood that I am hoping to purchase an SFH as an appreciation play.

When it seems like a good fit, in the past, I've gone ahead and pre-approved the stay.

I remember back when I was ramping up my own rental portfolio in those early-2000s San Diego days, I learned the hard way that ignoring “little” costs..like that termite treatment or the property manager’s onboarding fee..can turn what looked like a sweet deal into something that barely breaks even.Let’s say you pick up a property in one of those under-the-radar neighborhoods in Omaha or maybe on the south side of Chicago..markets I’ve seen a few colleagues dabbling in lately..you’ve got to be ready to get real about the numbers.

He launched a small OZF to revitalize a vintage office building in a transitioning neighborhood.
