QUOTES:

“How many times do marriages fall apart because people just don't even know how to support one another, nor do they know how to work together? It's easy for you just to think, oh, I can kill it, I can kill, I can kill it, in the same way that it's easy to love yourself. But it's harder to apply what you learned in the Bible with other people” - Preston Perry

“It’s kind of a myth about marriage is that our significant other is supposed to be our everything. That's very intimidating for me [and] that's a lot of pressure for me to be someone's everything because I'm not.” – Erika Brown

“We have similar gifts — we both are gifted to teach. We both are communicators [and] are creatives. So, we don't necessarily have tension when it comes to sharing a call, per se. I think we've had tension when one of us has a vision that the other doesn't feel like walking into. And so Preston will often have ideas that take me years to agree with.” – Jackie Hill Perry

28: The 3 Phases of Successful Real Estate Investing

Wealth Within Reach

10/14/24 • 13 min

In this episode, I walk you through the entire lifecycle of a real estate investment, breaking down each crucial phase so you can make smarter decisions along the way. We start with acquisition, the hands-on stage where you set your goals, find the right property, and build a reliable team to support you. Next, we tackle the often-overlooked stabilization phase, where the key to long-term success lies in setting up tenants, streamlining operations, and transitioning your investment to a more passive state. Lastly, we dive into the exit strategy, explaining how I assess my property portfolio each year to decide whether to hold or sell properties based on performance and market conditions.

Whether you’re a first-time investor or looking to grow your portfolio, this episode is packed with practical tips to guide your investment decisions and maximize returns.

KEY POINTS:

Phase 1: Acquisition - Determine your market, have a rental strategy, and create your team

Phase 2: Stabilization - Choose tenants, set up property management, and create systems for business

Phase 3: Exit Strategy - Factors to consider: increased expenses, difficulty finding tenants, and low cash flow

QUOTES:

“Don't just go out there and start buying property. You need to have a strategy — some goals that you are working towards.” – Erika Brown

“One indication that you truly have stabilized your property is that you don't have to be actively involved on a day-to-day basis. That is an example that things are stable.” – Erika Brown
