Short-Term vs. Long-Term Real Estate Investing | Episode 5

In the fifth episode of the Pull the Trigger Podcast, Dan Crosby and Scott Innocente talk about the long-term real estate investing game. They break down buying and holding vs. flipping, and Scott discusses one of his favourite terms: "real estate isn't get rich quick, it's get rich for sure. Dan shares strategies he has used to be successful during his career, and Scott breaks down some decisions he made in his first investments that he may have done differently.

Here's a little about Scott:

Hi I’m Scott Innocente, a real estate investor and investor-focused real estate agent in Windsor Ontario.  A little about myself, I worked at a government job for 11 years, needless to say, I was unfulfilled.  I was caught with the terrifying prospect of working at this job for 35 years and retiring having never gained financial freedom.  I thought about ways to get out, another job, maybe?  But every time I thought of another job, the same problem reared it’s ugly head: 35 years of working for somebody else all for a relatively mediocre paycheck.  I realized that I didn’t want another job, I wanted something for myself, something challenging, exciting, and something potentially lucrative.

I stumbled upon Rich Dad Poor Dad and that was the beginning of a shift in my mindset.  I finally realized that there was another way.  I didn’t HAVE to work for 35 years.  I didn’t HAVE to stick it out a job that was unfulfilling to me.  I didn’t HAVE to stay in the middle class forever.  I CAN get out of the rat race if I just do a few specific things, buying real estate being one of them.  Once my mindset shifted, it was over, I could never look back.

I started buying real estate in 2016.  I set a goal for myself of $4000/month of passive income and I’m 75% of the way there.  I got my real estate license in 2017, I quit my job that same year and started helping others see the light and achieve their dreams of financial freedom.  Dan and I have since started collaborating to help others “pull the trigger” on life, to stop thinking and start doing.

It’s all about mindset, if you can just get the click to happen, it’s over.  One the click happens then it’s a matter of PULLING THE TRIGGER.  Once you start pulling the trigger, then financial freedom becomes simply becomes a matter of time.  I’m here to help you get that click, and once you get the click, I’m here to help you accelerate your mindset shift to higher and higher levels, because mindset and action is what it’s all about.
