Q: Speaking of a market crash, how do these assets
weather that?
A: When you’re buying turnkey properties, you should be
buying for cash flow. Yes there are a few markets that boast
appreciation as a selling point. I never advise that.
Appreciation is speculative and never guaranteed. If you have
a 10year plan, what happens when the market crashes at 9
years and 9 months into your plan? Not good, right? Buy
turnkey properties for cash flow. Appreciation is an added
bonus when you decide to exit. Your goal shouldn’t be to
have $1 million dollars in your bank account. It should be to
have $10,000 in cash flow coming to your mailbox every
month. That’s how you achieve true financial freedom.
Q: What does the future look like for Freedom Real
Estate Group and you?
A: I plan on continuing to work on and expand our turnkey
business. We’ve been able to meet some great people across
the globe. I love it. Especially the wonderful success stories.
We plan to expand into some other markets. By the end of
2018, we will be expanding into Cincinnati. We’re hoping
within the next 12 months to have a presence in two other
markets as well but that is still in the works.
Q: Finally, what advice do you have for someone new
to real estate investing who wants to begin?
A: If your passion is real estate, find someone local and learn
from them. Always have the mindset of there is something
new to learn. I’m still learning. If your passion is different
from real estate, as in you’re a doctor, teacher, or dentist, align
yourself with a real estate investment professional to define
and set your goals. That’s how I approach all client
conversations. I want to know your goals so I can put you on
the right path to get there. Real estate is a great asset for
passive income. If you’re a busy professional who doesn’t
want to quit their job and get into real estate fulltime, turnkey
investing may be a good option. Eventually, once you’ve built
a healthy portfolio, you’re working because you want to – not
because you have to. That’s true financial freedom.
