More About This Show
Recently, I heard from an investor who wanted to share the details about his first rental property. It was a townhome that he had previously lived in. He still owed on his mortgage, and had to pay HOA dues every month.
When I ran the numbers, I found that this investor was not accounting for taxes, vacancies or repairs. I love to be conservative in my ROI formula, so I’m never surprised with extra expenses. His cash flow from his rent was basically spent when I helped him better calculate his ROI.
This townhome was not a good investment. He kept it because of an emotional attachment, which is the ultimate mistake in real estate. The property should not matter. You should not be sentimental about your investments.
It’s not about the house; it’s all about the numbers. Don’t fall in love with real estate. Instead, fall in love with ROI because that’s what will bring you financial freedom.
On today’s show, I’ll share another example of an investor who became emotionally attached to their investment and actually LOST money! I’ll speak more extensively on the importance of ROI, and more.
