The Golden Rule of Real Estate Investing

In real estate investing, the most critical principle is to never run out of cash. Cash flow is essential for sustaining operations and meeting obligations; failing to maintain sufficient liquidity can lead to catastrophic losses. Investors must recognize the risks associated with being asset-rich but cash-poor, as a lack of cash reserves can result in losing everything, including personal assets. To mitigate this risk, maintaining a substantial cash reserve—over $2 million in this instance—ensures that unexpected expenses or downturns can be managed effectively.
