Today’s guest bought his first rental property within just ninety days of learning about real estate investing. So, if you’re wondering how to buy a rental property or get started with out-of-state real estate investing ASAP, Jeff Costa is the person to listen to. Instead of sitting in analysis paralysis, Jeff knew it was CRUCIAL to pull the trigger on an investment property once he had heard the podcasts, read the books, and felt educated enough.
Within just two years, Jeff has bought two small multifamily rental properties, with a combined four units total, bringing in $1,300/month in cash flow! He was EVEN able to do this recently with higher mortgage rates, and shares EXACTLY what he was looking for, how much money the properties cost, where he chose to invest in real estate, and every FREE tool he uses to do market research BEFORE buying from a distance.
If you’re tired of waiting to get in the game but still feel nervous to invest in your first rental, you NEED to listen to this episode.
