Episode notes

When it comes to real estate investing for beginners and experts alike, the cost associated with buying and selling real estate is serious. A lot of people underestimate it. They think that you can buy an asset for X, sell it for Y, and in turn make a lot of money. What they don’t factor in are the people and entities that surround each deal, not to mention the time that must be invested in a property deal which can be anywhere from 6-12 months. This includes vetting brokers, preparing memorandums, reports, tax returns, property tax information, maintenance records, soliciting bids, and contracts. So again, real estate is not a liquid asset. I talk about this more in episode 3, but because of the feast and famine nature of the business, sponsors like me can go hungry for a long time, because if we’re not actively buying and selling, we’re not making a lot of money.

Thanks for listening!
