In this episode, I walk you through the entire lifecycle of a real estate investment, breaking down each crucial phase so you can make smarter decisions along the way. We start with acquisition, the hands-on stage where you set your goals, find the right property, and build a reliable team to support you. Next, we tackle the often-overlooked stabilization phase, where the key to long-term success lies in setting up tenants, streamlining operations, and transitioning your investment to a more passive state. Lastly, we dive into the exit strategy, explaining how I assess my property portfolio each year to decide whether to hold or sell properties based on performance and market conditions.
Whether you’re a first-time investor or looking to grow your portfolio, this episode is packed with practical tips to guide your investment decisions and maximize returns.
KEY POINTS:
- Phase 1: Acquisition - Determine your market, have a rental strategy, and create your team
- Phase 2: Stabilization - Choose tenants, set up property management, and create systems for business
- Phase 3: Exit Strategy - Factors to consider: increased expenses, difficulty finding tenants, and low cash flow
QUOTES:
“Don't just go out there and start buying property. You need to have a strategy — some goals that you are working towards.” – Erika Brown
“One indication that you truly have stabilized your property is that you don't have to be actively involved on a day-to-day basis. That is an example that things are stable.” – Erika Brown
