SO much I didn't know!

✨ It is going to take more cash than I anticipated - I hear the sub 2, seller finance, no money down, etc. But honestly, finding a good deal is going to require some sort of cash. Whether you partner to find this or self-fund, make sure you have enough in reserves. I can't stress this enough
✨Have patience in finding the right deal -"It is better to let go of a few good deals than buy ONE bad one" You have to always protect your downside & it a deal has limited upside, cash flow is tight - either renegotiate or walk away. You will find the right deal
✨ Look at 10+ deals daily & analyze them - stick to one market until you become an expert. Yes, it's a lot of hard work. Deals won't pencil. That's okay - it's a part of the process. BUT when you find the right deal, go for it.
✨ Rehabs always take longer than expected + over budget - have those reserves ready. A hurricane could hit the area, furniture delays

5 things from 5 years!
✨Buy in one niche until you become an expert - I bought only short-term rentals for 4 years. It takes time to learn the game. Be patient & learn to become an expert. I studied hotels for an entire year before I bought my first one.
✨Properties ALWAYS seem expensive when you buy them - buy the RIGHT one, anyway. Analyze 10 deals a day, and become an expert in the market you want to buy in. Know a good deal when you see one
✨If you don't have a traditional job/income, use DSCR loans to qualify for properties - if you need a great lender, DM me the word LENDER & I'll send you who I use
✨Adapt & pivot - what worked 2 years ago won't work today. Learn to change.
speaking off, Always be learning - this isn't PASSIVE
✨Be a LAZY investor - you only need one property to change your life. Learn to manage remotely, pay your people well, and find deals anywhere in the country - there are a LOT more opportunities outside of your backyard.

Short-term rentals provide cash flow and appreciation, but when you self-manage and get a cost segment study, you can depreciate the asset.
In real estate, you get appreciation, depreciation & cash flow!

Man it's been a decade!
✨Only take advice from people who live the life you want to live - I used to take advice from anyone that I considered successful. Until I realized, I wanted to be finally free in my 20s & 30s not in my 60s. So I started taking advice from people who ran companies in a way I liked & more importantly made their families their top priority
✨ It's okay to let go of old friendships - this one was a lot harder than expected. But also led to the most growth. You will find LOTs of new friends that help you to grow
✨In a digital world, no one wants to call / too afraid to pick up the phone. SO many deals are made over talking & texts can be very easily misunderstood. So call people, meet them in person
✨ "Entrepreneurship is living a few years of your life like most people won't, so you can spend the rest of your life like most people can't.” Hustle, stay up late, get up early & save so you can buy your first deal

Growing up, I always knew I wanted to be an entrepreneur. I didn't want to work for anyone so I hustled to open my first restaurant. ❤️
It took me 8 years to get out of the day-to-day so I knew when I started real estate, it couldn't all depend on me.
I bought properties far away from me because deals were better BUT also because I would be forced how to learn to outsource & make the numbers work. ✨
I share exactly how I did this every week in my FREE newsletter so sign up in my BIO or comment with the word "DREAM" & I'll send you a DM
PS- be sure to drop me a follow @chaiandcabins to learn how to buy real estate anywhere.

Used to think I needed a big team and a corporate office to be a "real" business. Turns out, all you need is the right mindset and a couple of awesome VAs. 💪
