Episode notes
Don't Wait For Rates To Fall
- Waiting for perfect market timing is a mistake; find deals that work now rather than betting on lower rates later.
- A deal that cashflows at high rates will only improve if rates fall, while waiting raises competition and prices.
Huge Discounts Are Available Now
- Tony described a buyer negotiating a $100,000 discount on a short‑term rental purchase recently.
- He used this to illustrate that buyers currently have more leverage than in prior years.
Move From Learning To Doing
- Stop over‑consuming information and act when most resources sound the same to you.
- Embrace discomfort as inevitable when doing meaningful new things and push through to learn from your first deal.
