The best way to learn income property investing is by finding one. Here's 4 quick tips to get you started on your #realestate #investment journey:

[Clifhirtle @Clifhirtle]

4/4: Learn from (others) mistakes. Leverage in #realestate creates risk. What you don’t know can (financially) wreck you. Finding others who’ve gone where you’re headed is the most effective form of rocket fuel you’ll find.

[Clifhirtle @Clifhirtle]

3/4: Find a niche. Beige walls and bad photos speak to no one. What types of #realestate are you looking for? What are the most common names/logos you’re seeing in rental ads? Find the folks already in #market & reach out.

[Clifhirtle @Clifhirtle]

2/4: Know your market. What are average #realestate #rental rates in your market by size, place, & condition? How long are rentals sitting out there? What type of #properties dominate your market? Know the basics to find the deals.

[Clifhirtle @Clifhirtle]

1/4: Learn by finding. Treat the search for your first #realestate property as the learning opportunity it is. Run numbers. Have a common compare for prospects outside actual listings themselves. #Zillow’s great for home buyers, but you’re comparing #investments.

The best tip I can give you on #realestate #investing is to start before you’re ready. 5 uncommon tips for over-analyzers who want to get investing:

[Clifhirtle @Clifhirtle]

5/5: search in sprints. The waiting is the hardest part, if you let it be. Don’t stress or obsess the search. Set clear time you’ll spend searching each day/week, then move on with your life.

[Clifhirtle @Clifhirtle]

4/5: Date the wait, marry the moment. Finding the right investment property takes time. Use your time searching to connect with others, educate yourself, & be ready to marry the moment your property arrives. Good deals never last, be ready to pounce!

[Clifhirtle @Clifhirtle]

3/5: waterboard your worries in their worst case reality.
Same as #1 above: forget the paper numbers, know your costs and live with them for 3-6mo in real life. Nothing helps you find your financial limits like living within your means.

[Clifhirtle @Clifhirtle]

2/5: Listen to investors, not homeowners. Dream homes are picket fences & BBQs. Investments are net incomes & vacancy rates: things other investors know well. If you’re considering a triple bypass, ensure you’re asking a doctor not a dentist.

[Clifhirtle @Clifhirtle]

1/5: Act like you’re already there. Calculate your payment, then set up a recurring transfer from your checking to savings account today. Paper carrying costs are nothing compared to living as if you’ve already bought.

Seeing @LindseyStirling kick off her tour tonight 3 rows back with a sturgeon supermoon in full effect feels a bit like magic. Or stars aligning… even though it’s planets + moons. Was planet-tour aligning planned? Does power of #Artemis know no bounds? https://t.co/PIrO7AaJUV

It’s too easy to forget in a world of sterilized sound + auto tuned homogeny that great bands have always took a stand + made us move. Thank you ⁦⁦⁦@garbage⁩ ⁦@NoelGallagher⁩ & ⁦@Metric⁩ for kicking ass + wrapping your summer tour in #Boston. Love you all.

@Jamie_Lane @airdna @nickgerli1 As others have said, you’re each comparing apples to oranges here: ~50% YoY drops in key metros vs single digits declines across all markets. AirBnB saw free fall coming last May, pivoted to luxury/boutique to save profits. Small operators are ones losing. https://t.co/8QhWvpLPEX

The greatest new world is right outside your door. Take a hike. Go for a walk. Get lost in nature. These are the realities we too quickly forget in a world of relentless connection + distraction.

Perfect is infinitely less interesting than fallible.
